FC Intake/Throttle Body
I have an '85 GSL-SE and I'm trying to get more power out of it. So I came up with this idea (actually it was andrew's idea ) to use a 88-91 N/A Intake/Throttle Body along with the 88-91 ECU and keep the GSL-SE injectors. Does it sound workable?
Thanks

88-91 ECU on the GSL-SE?
I don't think it would would work. Besides the SE only has 2 injectors to the FC's 4. You might be better off with a Haltech F9, Wolf3D, or SDS aftermarket system to control the Fuel injection only.
Check Paul's web site about how he used a complete 2nd Gen N/A engine with ECU into his GSL. He might be able to offer more advice.

More problems, the engines are of different compression, and the 89-91 has the lighter rotating mass, so the ECU will not be perfect, have to get an SAFC. you will have to rewire the whole engine, and get a whole wire harness from a donor, and then like Directfreak says, its not a bolt on intake. you can get it all to work and get another 10HP for weeks and weeks of labor.

I have no mods at all right now. I'm shooting for 200+ horsepower at the flywheel though 200rwhp would be awesome.
What mods will make that kind of power?
A street port with a homemade cold air intake and full RB exhaust? What else would I need? Bigger injectors? An aftermarket ECU? I still want *pretty* good gas mileage and I would like to keep the car n/a.
Thank you all again

Do a real streetport (not a mild one), Port match the 89-91 Intake, get and aftermarket ECU - (Haltech F9, Wolf 3D, SDS<-Cheapest). You'll be able to run 4 injectors, so you won't stress the duty cycle of the injecotrs at all, and you WILL obtain over 200hp.
EDIT: and you will be 50% of the way done if you ever want to slap a turbo on it
A good exhaust with headers, and a good intake flow (minimal bends) will definately be required though.
I had a Streetported SE with the stock FI, and I was at about 200hp (+-5) before. And that was with the Stock FI system (restrictive RE-EGI), headers, and exhaust. It can be done.
If you want it easier without the FI, get a Dellorto Carb setup with the streetport.

Go with a FC engine and intake. And get a Haltech! I'm going to go to haltech because the stock ECU is good just for stock. I got my 86' engine for $200 in a totaled FC! Good luck!

The 86-88 motor has the same compression as the -SE but lighter rotors by a pound and a half, I do not see why changing the rotor weights or compression would affect a FI system, as far as needing to remap it.
