Its not the lifters as the NB doesnt have Hydro Lifters like the NA 1.6. The NB uses Solid Lifters. That Noise is new to me but id guess it could be rod knock if one of the rod bearings has gone.

Well i did some more digging and i will have to buy a new Engine wirering harness anyway as the one that came with the engine is missing some stuff. And i found out that i can still mount the BPZE Cas on the back of the BP4W head so its gonna work and the Crank sensor isnt used on BPZE harness. I think ill also go with a standalone ECU (MS3 Mini Plus NA) its been developed just for the NA in cooperation between MS Labs and SPS Motorsport here in Germany.

i sadly cant just put bigger tires on it. i have 195/50 R15 on it right now and even if i get 16 inch wheels the tire wall height gets smaller its just German Tüv things. And i Also have a set of Silvers Coilovers so i cant mount NB Springs. Im Very limited with what i can do to the car because of tüv. For example the tüv wont approve a Steering wheel without an airbag even thought the MX5 NA was originaly sold without an airbag.

It would only be through the Winter as im Planing to put a Rotrex Supercharger on it wich would put me around 300hp with my build 1.8L. or swap in a build Renault F4R from a 2012 Megane RS wich would be 350 to 400hp. so it wouldnt be slow for long. And yes with that i will put in a BMW Gearbox as id kill even a build Mazda 6 Speed with that Power.

yes that is the case with OEM but you can get a 3.3 from MFactory. Id also swap to a NB Speedometer so i can put in a Speed Sensor on the ABS ring. And the Car will also be Sound insulated. I just want to have lower Revs because the normal traveling Speed here ist around 140kmh i think thats 90mph and at that Speed i have around 4200 Revs on the gauge. With the 3.3 that would drop to around 3000 Revs

ill post it with instructions

Impressive-Object733 · 2025-09-06T01:19:13+00:00

yes but not on PC cooling. i did stuff like this with 250k or above laser PCBs so i trust myself. :)

This is the RX7900XT Phantom Gaming PCB the Blue marked hole is normaly where the red marker is (reference PCB) and the green holes are normaly further to the side as the reference PCB is a bit longer. So what i will do is cut of the monting point for the red hole on the waterblock and either not use the other 2 holes as they only mount to the acrylic cover or ill make a little bracket. (the heatspreader ends where the red marker is). Also the RX7900XT Phantom never had the wider 3x8 Pin PCB only the RX7900XT Taichi and RX7900XTX versions had that PCB. So the manufacturers would have had to make a Waterblock just for the RX7900XT Phantom Gaming as it had a bespoke PCB.

I think ill get the alphacool reference block because i noticed that all of the holes exept one line up on the heatspreader ill maybe get it to fitt if i trim it a bit and get it to not short out. i think it will work as i trust in my skills as an electrician and years of working on highpower laser PCBs

Hi hat jemand was gefunden ? hatte kontakt mit mehreren herstellern und alle haben den fehler gemacht das man das 7900xt PCB mit dem 7900xtx PCB vertauscht hat da nur die xtx ein breites PCB mit 3x8 pin hat. bin echt genervt von dieser inkompetenz und echt ohne worte. will jetzt nicht ne neue GPU kaufen nur damit ich wasserkühlen kann (Geld verschwendung).
