Post Built Motor

Does anybody know where I can find information on building the stock L series in the 2007 Honda fit? I want to get some more power out of my fit but I want to know if it would be less expensive to K swap it, or go the forced induction route and beef up the motor so I can run more than 5 lbs of boost without severe knocking. Also does anyone sell a kit to convert the rear breaks to discs?

Timing and fuel management via a good tune will allow more than 5 lbs of boost with the stock motor. Not sure how much more, but 8 lbs easily. Maybe more. K20 will still be your best bet as long as you don't mind substantial wiring work and a permanent check engine light.

Fastbrakes has a drum to disc conversion kit. Just give him a call for the options - https://www.fastbrakes.com/Default.asp

Way easier to go forced induction. I have a kit for sale. Here is the link to my car https://motoiq.com/kraftwerks-announ...ercharger-kit/
