I've read that the RDX engine will not even fit in the 2G TSX, let alone the 1G which has a smaller space.

I don't think the possiblity is very low.
However, the CT- supercharger will give you similiar performance gain.

Or you can get a turbo on a k24 and make even more power.

You can do it if you can afford it, but it would cost so much that it's not financially possible. It would be cheaper to buy a new, much better performance car than to do what you're asking about.
If you want FI, just get the CT SC, and you'll have the same performance you'd have with that engine swap and pay a ton less. Heck, you can probably get better performance if you get a smaller pulley for the SC.
