5 Tanks Back Online

Posted On 22 Mar 2008 By Bart Piotrowski. Under: Filtration and Setup.
5 Tanks Back Online I got my 10 gallon breeder tank setup again as I just got some fish the last 2 days and need more space. My old filter broke so i went to PetLand and bought a cool new filter called the Cascade 200 by Penn Plax. It is rated for up to 50 Gallons so I put this on my 20 Gallon tank and the old filter went to the 10 Gallon. Here is a picture of the filter and a link to more info ... Read More

Thanks Dad For The Fish :D

Posted On 20 Mar 2008 By Bart Piotrowski. Under: Aquariums.
Thanks Dad For The Fish :D I visited my dad on Thursday after work which was nice. He has 5 fish tanks and is constantly trying to better his filtration systems in each tank setup. His knowledge and ideas have given me great information on which filters to purchase and what kind of filtration methods to use. He loves to grow plants and since he had some extra ones, I was fortunate to get some and add them to my tanks. I was also happy that he gave me some of his new red platies, since my current tanks have been looking very bare as over the last few months I had fish die off. ... Read More

2 Months of Satisfaction :)

Posted On 12 Mar 2008 By Bart Piotrowski. Under: 1993 Honda Civic Project, D Series Engine, Engine Swaps, Hatch, Maintenance and Do It Yourself, VTEC.
2 Months of Satisfaction :) It's been 2 months since I did the engine swap on my car and I love it every bit. It's got more power, better response, less oil usage and looks good too. The D16 engine and the Si tranny works really good together in my little hatch. The Power to Weight ratio is really nice, its got lots of GO when you need it. Anyone out there wondering if they should do this swap or any other to add more power to their ride I say go for it, its worth every penny! The fuel economey is almost similar, I might of lost 50km per tank but it all depends how hungry you get for VTECH at 5000rpms. ... Read More

Passed Aircare today with flying colors!

Posted On 07 Mar 2008 By Bart Piotrowski. Under: 1993 Honda Civic Project, AirCare.
Passed Aircare today with flying colors! I passed aircare this morning with really good results and it didn't take to much work. Yesterday I used up the last of the gas that I had in the tank and filled up with Mohawk 94 octane with 10% methanol, added some fuel injector cleaner and took it for a good boot at lunchtime. Then this morning I retarded the timing 8 degrees and put about 200ml of Menthyl Hydrate into the tank and drove it to aircare just before going to work but I made sure I drove it with high rpm's to keep the catalyic converter really hot which would keep the emissions low. Wednesdays Reading Todays Reading HC 0.5221                 0.3468 CO 6.7286                 4.1013 NOx 0.4531               0.1945 As you can see from the results it did a lot better in all 3 categories and one big thing I noticed is that with the super blend of gas I gained some horsepower with less emissions. The methyl hydrate is suppose to run your engine hotter and leaner and has a tendency to dry out rubber seals so do not use it to often. ... Read More
