Don't forget that it's not just a matter of getting the injector to pop at the right pressure.... you also have to be able to install it into your engine, and that's not gonna happen if the injectors are not the right shape, or especially if you try to mix and match. The metal fuel injection pipes are a certain shape and are not very flexible -- they will only work if you use the correct type of injector with them. If you try to use the wrong kind, and you install the lines in a stressed position, they will fracture, guaranteed.

The lines are fragile enough as it is -- I have replaced fractured pipes on two different D24s just in the past week or two. As they age they get more and more brittle and susceptible to failure. Don't try to install them in any position they are not "comfortable" in or you will need to get ready for a fuel bath...
