Car is Winterized
Posted On 26 Nov 2007 By Bart Piotrowski. Under: Civic.
First snow fall was today 2cm in the high parts of the city and man am I happy I took off my 15" low profile tires and mags and put back my 13" steel wheels. I did it last saturday after work and at the same time I raised the front coilovers 3 turns and the back 2 turns. So now it sits a little bit high but gives it more clearance when the real snow start falling in January.
I took another picture, she looks a bit plain jane again but who cares atleast my mags and tires are gonna be all clean and ready to go come spring time.

K Series Engine into 1978 Honda Civic
Posted On 25 Nov 2007 By Bart Piotrowski. Under: Civic, Engine Swaps, Maintenance and Do It Yourself, Other Civic's.
I found an article of a K20A2 engine from a 2001-2006 Acura RSX engine being swapped into a 1978 Honda Civic. The K20A2 is a DOHC VTEC engine with 11:1 compression ratio and 200HP / 142ft/lbs. So adding this powerful engine into a car from 1978 of such less weight would be it fly.

Turbo Dyno's
Posted On 22 Nov 2007 By Bart Piotrowski. Under: Dyno's, Turbo.
It's hard to know what kind of HP you will get out of your engine when you're doing your first build but my personal goal is to get around 225-275HP out of my Intercooled Turbo D16Z6 engine with a good bottom end and top end build, a good turbo and Hondata S300.
Here is a link to Turbo D16 Forums to a post of 134-463HP Turbo Dyno's ... Read More
Baby Angel Fish From Eggs
Posted On 21 Nov 2007 By Bart Piotrowski. Under: AngelFish.
Few weeks ago I had my 2 adult size angel fish lay eggs on a shark ornament in my turtle tank and 2 days later they started to wiggle. I grabbed my net and scooped them out into a plastic cup and about 4 days later the eggs turned into little baby fish but still unable to swim just wiggle. I took them out of the cup and into a breeder container that was in my 29 gallon tank and left them there. Well next day i guess they finally started to swim and they swam thru the holes of the breeder container and got eaten by the other fish in the tank. I did manage to take a picture of how they looked in the breeder take a look below you will see them. They had eggs again last week and I a special breeding container made out of netting but again it failed cuz the other fish in the tank ate the wiggling eggs thru the netting. Next time I do it I will use the netted breeder but also put a container in there with a hard bottom so they don't get sucked out.
