2001 Fuel rail, bp4w... what have I done?
Sometimes when your a newb with parts from 3 different variants of 1.8 motors laying around you... You go with what fits. Then you forget about it, because it did fit.
That was my thinking over a year ago, when I mated a 2001/mk2.5 fuel rail to a bp4w head. All the lines were in the right place... I didn't have to use a hammer.
I'd forgotten about that until I started chasing down a terrible idle. Then I read up on the swap again, and popped the hood to verify. Sure enough, front mounted fpr, return fuel lines... Part number on the fpr shows its for a mk 2.5...
I've got a 99 returnless coming in, what do I need to do to make it fit? Can I use anything from the mk2.5 rail? Or am I going to have to get something from a breaker?

Ok....just to be clear...
What year miata are you running this motor in?
If you get a BP4W fuel rail, you just need to attach a 94-97 FPR upside down on the front (which sounds like what you've already done) and run the return line. For the feed, you can get a Dorman 800-092 fuel line adapter fitting converting it from quick connect to barb.

You need it to be a return system. Return-less would indicate your fpr does not have a return side. On the 99 it has a Damper in the fpr location. You can use the 99-00 rail I think as I did but just put an fpr on from 90-97. Assuming your car is an N/A of some sort.
Edit: for accuracy.

99-01 use the same rail no? You need it to be a return system. Return-less would indicate your fpr does not have a return side.... Correct me please if I am wrong as I know you all will... You can use the 99-01 rail I think as I did but just put an fpr on from 90-97. Assuming your car is an N/A of some sort.
Under a Mazda parts search, it shows the 2001-2002 moats with a 13290c pulse damper in the front. Shows the same for all of them.
Now I'm really confused. Are mk2/2.5 fuel rails the same?
I've got a 99 coming in anyway, so does it need to be a mk1 1.8 fpr, or can I use a 1.6 as well?
Just asking because I'll be calling junkyards to see what they have .

Okok yes thanks dunning. Confirming what he's said. You need a 90-97 fpr and a 99-00 fuel rail. Confirmed as that's what I've done to my bp4w in my 90. You'll have to tweak the neck of the fpr though with a pipe or something. The 94-97 fpr will not fit on the 99-00 fuel rail which is why you chose the option of 01+ your current fpr i'm guessing. I mis-spoke according to some documentation i had saying 99-00 but they switched to vvt in 01 as mentioned which is why this cleared up for me. When they switched to vvt they changed the intake manifold .... anyway yeah thanks dunning!

Maybe the 94-97 works? I had a 1.6 so I was just reusing the parts and everything I read said to re-use it.
With the 90-93 fpr you have to flip it upside down and then tweak the barb so it has less of an angle. Mine ended up as shown. As far as i know the only real difference between the 2 fpr's is the sweep in the 90-93 and then the vacuum line orientation. The vacuum nipple is more likely to bump into the IM but If psyber says his works then it may.
One on left is 94-97 right is 90-93

lol i think you're not seeing that right. The fuel line dips out before the pcv. That is a fuel line. I'm not sure what route I took there as it was on the stand there. I probably had it tucked under a runner so it wouldn't be hanging out floppin around.
If you're not referring to my picture then I don't know what you're seeing that i'm not. I don't really see any hard lines anywhere in any of these pictures.

I thought he was using BP4W head?
I just followed:
http://blog.choppedoctopus.com/2012/...94-engine.html
The barb was reoriented because I'll be using that as a vacuum source for other things. PCV will be running to a catch can

I have the return line from the FPR on my VVT swap going up and over the PCV IIRC. Aka: your setup.

Did some more digging, apparently the EUDM market MK2's had return lines?
