Fuel Injector Question

I'm in the process of building a custom turbo kit with a t3 for my 2001 accord f23. After The kit's on there, I'm going to start collecting the parts to build the engine up, then convert it to a t3/4 to get a little more flow. My question Is, I can get a set of HKS 400 cc injectors from a guy I know with an abandoned project for under $300. Will they be overkill for my stock engine, I plan on boosting around 8 psi. I have a vafc that I will be using for fuel management, and will be upgrading the fuel rail, fpr, and get a vortech, or other brand fmu. The kit will be going on the car in about a year, when I completely have it paid off, and the warranty has run out. I'm slowly collecting all the parts I need. Thanks alot.

I used the little calculator on rc's site, and to get 250 hp, I figure around 8-10psi i should use ones rated at 393 at a 50% duty cycle . So These should be good, right? Or am I using their calculator wrong?

You can get 450cc injectors from a 90-94 MT turbo DSM for around $50, that's what I'm using. And you don't want RC engineering or any other type of Lucas Disc injector, you want the pintle type that comes stock in our honda/acuras and DSMs as well:



Now which do you think will mix the fuel with the air better (atomization)? No brainer here...

I didnt know rc injectors were Lucas's. There's no way I would ever buy them now. If anyone ever owned an english car, you'd understand. I owned a landrover once. You have to love the lucas "smoke" theory of electricity. Oh, and the HKS ones are bosch style injector if that helps. But anyway I'd probably get the Mitsu ones anyway to keep costs down.
