Are there any combo oil pressure senders/low pressure switches? Preferably with a 1/8 BSP fitment and the sensor running 0 to 300 ohms..

I did this and it has quietened down a fair bit. But that fan you could physically rock the moving assembly a tiny bit, which you couldn't with the other one. But at least now I have the specific fan model so have ordered one off Alix. But in the meantime it isn't screeching at me

The boss has been away in the UK for a couple of weeks so I have had extra shed time so have been getting through a bit of stuff.. Hacking a stepper motor onto the instrument cluster to drive the speedo, firstly by making a tiny drive adapter then printing a mount; Then making a trigger wheel that needed to be clamped around the driveshaft, so the clamp bolts may as well be the trigger. I will try to use a Safari ABS sensor I had lying around, mostly because it is probably robust enough. I have six spots on the wheel, hopefully that isn't too much resolution for the Link. I may mount it a bit further away from the exhaust tho. I also started to lay out arrangements for the cooling pipes, I tried to spin the head outlet around into a more convenient position but it was still a bit shit, so i decided I may as well just make what I needed. I also hacked about one of the OEM pipes to achieve the same ends, including some convenient piping to the oil cooler. The main pipes will be running close to the exhaust so I will hard pipe them past that bit. I have ordered an AliX special bead roller, so I'll get more of this done when that arrives... I'll get a whole lot of those bits zinc plated once I am happy with the layout...

Dont know exactly, but it should be around 100kw standard and a bit more with the throttle bodies and exhaust. The old engine was pretty stout, maybe 130hp and yea thats plenty fun, so this should be a hoot.

Worth a go for sure.

Split the drivetrain to check the clutch fork as per @kws's suggestion. It looks kindof new once I cleaned the clag off, maybe it has been replaced? The spigot bearing and the thrust bearing were both crunchy, plus the clutch plate looked a bit raggedy even though it still had some life left, so i thought I may as well splash out on some shiny boys;

I am quite fancying the Fleshy Leaf brand.

Its a Precision 7560 with an Nvidia RTX GPU

Actually I have just found a listing for the fans only https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-dell-7560-gpu-fan.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.search.0

Yea I pulled it apart to see what the layout was, there are 2x fans that are mirrored, but I cannot find a part number for just that one.

The fan in my chunky as fuck Dell laptop is pretty noisy and I should really replace it. I have wrangled the correct part number; 1Y5D1 and have talked to a realish person at Dell who is 'investigating' However when I bang the part number into AliX I get a few hits; https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-1Y5D1.html?spm=a2g0o.home.search.0 Has anyone tried parts from any of these outfits or should I stick with the OEM stuff...?

You are a funny chap... You should be asking if you can turbo a two stroke.

I snaffled a twin pipe rear exhaust section from a v8/v10 BMW for $20 or something which has some pipework and two rear boxes. I'll probably lay it out the same as the previous setup, two boxes side by side and then out. At least with the V band it will be easier to drop it out and try something else if it does not work..

Got distracted by the exhaust which i had anticipated would happen, and had purchased some 2.5" stainless bits a few weeks ago. First I split the underside of the OEM headers and pulled them in a bit tighter, then used my mediocre TIG skillz to close them up again. Then there was the EGR port which I thought I should block off.. Then I added some downpipe and such and tweaked it til I was happy; Then added a V band fitting at an appropriate place and Tigged it all up. I did remember I needed to add the AFR sensor nut in there, but was chilling with a beer by then, so another day.. Should be dooorty enough...?

Harder to overthow a tech company probably...
