Question Questions and suggestions D16Y8 full build 15-20 psi

So i'm new to this forum thing I've never been part of one before but as of recently I've discovered that you can find some pretty useful information on them. I've been doing quite a bit of research lately and still have some questions of my own. I have a 97 ex coupe d16y8 and I plan on doing a full 100% engine build and plan on running between 15 and 20 psi on it. Some of the things that i'm still not sure about and would like some suggestions are, 1. what would be a good size for fuel injectors to use because I still want to be able to drive this car on the street but get good performance out of it. 2. I've read up somewhat on this and apologize if this has been answered somewhere else, I haven't been able to find much about it, but for my ecu what would be a better unit to use, the hondata s200 or s300 and will I need to get an obd2 to obd1 harness to hook that up to my stock ecu? if so is there anything else that will need to be converted to odb1 or just the harness for the ecu? 3. How much hp are the stock sleeves able to handle? I was told the stock crank was good up to about 400 horse so i plan on using it, so what about the sleeves are the stock ones fine, or should i resleeve it too and if so what are some good ones to choose from? 4. Running the motor on 15 to 20 psi what would be a more appropriate compression ratio, 8.5:1 or 9.0:1 and if i were to go 9:1 how much boost is to much for that CR?

Ok well since I have gotten no feed back I have pretty much answered my own questions. i'm just going to go ahead and go with the darton MID sleeves, and run 8.8:1 compression. I also am going to run 550cc injectors and I guess that i do need a conversion harness i'll just have to call and find out when I order it.
