Just for clarification I obviously know that all cooling systems are "pressurized" I was just referring to the inferance that it was the old closed system.
You saw who's radiator system is pressurized, mine? You don't know WTF your talking about. Just because mine is an 88 doesn't mean that I haven't changed it to the newer style. Stop making assumptions and coming to false conclusions. And that's not the reason that vapor lock does not occur on FI like it does on carb models, it has to do with the location of the pump being lower and at the starting point instead of at a point higher than the fuel source like a carb model. I know thats an over simplification but you get the idea. Stop talking out of your rear end and only speak when you know WTF your talking about.
Just throwing this out here for you guys to chew on...
Which models have a TSB for heat soak issues? Which models also have a single line (supply at the rail, return back by the tank)? Does a single supply with no return from the manifold really prevent heatsoak? Isn't the fuel rail bolted to a giant heat sink, sitting directly above a bigger heat source?
what the hell are you talking about? the return line IS the reason the fuel returns to the tank warm...............fuel constantly flowing from the fuel in the tank is cool-go ahead spill some fuel on your hand in 90 * temps and tell me it's warm:gee:
Well anyways not to sound so sarcastic but it seems like your saying you need warm fuel????
and why did most car makers go returnless???????????
think about that for a minute................
Dude your an ass. I miss-typed and meant to write, "the same reason your..." And it doesn't matter which system you have it's still pressurized.
Oh and some reading on vapor lock

Seem to mention something about pressurized systems.
Think it's related to this dumb law called pv=rt effects of which are mentioned here:

But as you so eloquently stated I don't know WTF I"m talking about. So will you please leave this thread and let me rig my fuel rail in my own "out my rear end way"
I'd had a few beers and didn't want to call him out on the single line system when I wasn't sure I was right. Anyway, that's addressed.
Can you use the entire fuel system from a 99 (in-tank filter/pump/gauge sender, lines, etc) on the 88? I'd guess the earlier models used a different pump/filter/sender setup which might complicate things, but personally I'd rather jerry rig a gauge sender than a fuel line next to the exhaust manifold.
Motor swap, fuel system swap- changing the tank doesn't strike me as much of an undertaking by comparison. As far as maintenance- if I have to drop the tank every 100K-150K, I could live with that, I think.
