Default fuel injector recalibration worth it?

RC Engineering will flow-test, balance, and recalibrate fuel injectors for 30 bucks each. Is this service worth it? My injectors have 266,000 miles on them, they're VERY well broken in. I have a 91 CRX Si, if that matters at all.

Also, I have a set of 1992 Civic DX fuel injectors that I borrowed from the local junk yard Will those work with my D16A6 long enough for me to get my Si injectors worked on? I don't plan to be runnin the car hard any time soon, so the civic injectors would just be used for daily driving. thanks guys =)

I would get injectors refurbed if I was putting in higher flow used (1st gen DSM perhaps), but not just for the heck of it.

I'd look at it from a money standpoint. If I had the cash, I'd rather buy a brand new set than rebuilt, used ones. I'd imagine all they replace is the pintle and the solenoid inside which are going to be your main points of wear anyways. Thats not a bad price at all though. Thats not much help, sorry.

From a money stand point, I definitely cannot afford new Honda injectors, at their scant 100 to 150 dollars each. So, the 30 bucks each to have em rebalanced is worth it. So what if they only last two years as opposed to the 12 years of the new Honda ones, after havin em rebalanced twice, I've still not spent anywehre near the cost of new injectors, and by then I should have the money to get new ones. hehe...

Ok, so about those civic injectors...Will it be safe to drive my crx with those injectors (D15B2) in it for the 5 or 6 days or so I'll need?
