Injector calibration etc.

I have a strange project on the go - basically a dual throttle body
injection on a 1.8 litre engine. It is a SOOB EA81 unit.
I want to install one injector on each bank, just before the intake port on
the head (where manifold connects) I have a couple throttle bodies from a
snowmobile engine that accept ford type (multiport) injectors. What injector
should come close to the right size? I figure a 400HP, or 7 litre v8 should
be pretty close as a starting point, as each injector has to service 50 HP
and 900 ccs of engine displacement.

Also, the computer I have (not sure if I can use it) is set up for the low
resistance injectors and resister pack. Can I substitute the high resistance
(12 volt, 14 ohm +/-) type without damaging the drivers? Obviously I would
be eliminating the resister pack. All I can think of is there would be a
higher inductive kick-back when de-energized. Is there a way to add a Zener
to handle this?

Any other input appreciated.
