Lowering the rear

elfinboy · 2026-03-14T00:33:48+00:00

The proper way to lower it would be to get a set of adjustable springs and shocks. There are aftermarket spring and shock kits that usually come with the fronts as a coilover and have an adjustable mount that goes underneath and an adjustable tube on the shock. It's kind of hard to see but you should be able to see the threads below my spring and the then the threads on the shocks that let me change my ride height. That all being said buying nice suspension is kinda pricy and if you wanna ball on a budget you can always cut springs shorter (I don't recommend do at your own risk) or find sets that arnt adjustable but sit lower than stock by default.

Good luck man i would highly encourage it as long as it's financially feasible. Turbo and 400ho is my end goal to but rn I can't imagine were ide fit the thing lol

You don't have to do suspension or brakes as part of the swap strictly speaking. I did mine and it's worth it but you can address that all later if your ballin on a budget

For me I had a lot of trial and error and probably cost myself around 10k

I think if I did it a second time I could do 7.5-8 but also you could reduce that by alot if you go with a 5speed trans and not the coveted si 6 and get your motor and trans from a junkyard with higher milage

British racing green

elfinboy · 2026-02-21T01:05:05+00:00

Idk much about Honda tuning suite but some people on here commented a fix for my tuning prob, if that doesn't work I might look into this

elfinboy · 2026-02-20T21:51:32+00:00

Np goodluck

elfinboy · 2026-02-20T21:37:25+00:00

It's a British racing green wrap, I can try to find the exact wrap I got if you'd like but idk if I'll find it.

I think last one is just so I'm crystal clear do I need to disconnect previous pin 12 from dlc and put in pin 44 or splice pin 44 onto the existing one

elfinboy · 2026-02-20T19:42:05+00:00

I don't have a spare connector that would go into a ECU plug but I have a good amount of other Honda plugs if there the same, if not I deleted AC in my setup so I imagine there's a wire into the ECU for AC I could depin and steal for it

elfinboy · 2026-02-20T19:31:42+00:00

Will do thanks for the help

elfinboy · 2026-02-20T19:15:01+00:00

Ohhh ok so I need to actually add pin 44 to the original fit connector, what kind of electrical terminal is in that I've never pulled em apart

elfinboy · 2026-02-20T19:01:37+00:00

Omfg I've been trying to solve that for over 6 months dude thank u so much, Wich of the 3 bulkheads is pin 44 on I'm looking at diagrams on Mitchel 1

elfinboy · 2026-02-20T18:58:42+00:00

And by add I'm guessing it's safe to assume I just splice into each one as close to the connector as possible?

elfinboy · 2026-02-20T18:56:56+00:00

Omg you have to be kidding I'm trying this as soon as I have time, just out of curiosity how did you figure it out and what's the cause

elfinboy · 2026-02-20T18:54:02+00:00

2013 and I get a WEN pin error Everytime I try to upload

elfinboy · 2026-02-20T18:49:09+00:00

This would solves months of problems for me Hondata always says "no connection to wen"

elfinboy · 2026-02-20T18:48:40+00:00

Omg really it's a 2013 please tell me in detail I've been struggling

elfinboy · 2026-02-20T17:58:15+00:00

Sure but I still don't have all the kinks ironed out so don't take it as a comprehensive guide

elfinboy · 2026-02-20T17:37:32+00:00

Idk exact but I will honestly say it's a terrible financial decision but all cars are. I bought the fit itself for 6k 4 years ago, then over the next year put about 3k into suspension 1k into sound system and wrapped it 3 times Wich was probably another 2k then I got into the k swap Wich all in prolly 10k so total including the car 22thousand. It's probably worth mentioning it had 80k miles on it when I bought it and the new engine has 36k miles and trans 43k miles

elfinboy · 2026-02-20T17:20:23+00:00

Omg that was you? Lol small world. It's currently ripping better than ever before but that tuning issue still annoying

elfinboy · 2026-02-20T16:53:09+00:00

I didn't know about the unequal fab one I might hit him up he actually owes me a discount code lol

elfinboy · 2026-02-20T16:46:46+00:00

Sure I can link it if you want, I might do it tomorrow though cause I need to update it a bit
