Sorry for not updating the thread, these injectors offer way better response off the line then stock, however it is also a bit harder to keep in lean burn with such touchy throttle now.
So its a toss up as to what your looking for, I still have the original injectors and might send them down to OsideTiger to get them rebuilt.

Do you have any before & after MPG numbers while using stock vs. OsideTiger injectors?

My fuel logs are here from the time I bought the car, 1992 Honda Civic VX Gas Mileage (WD-40's VX) - EcoModder.com , comments on the side indicate when the new injectors were installed

My main goal is fuel efficiency which seems to be yours as well, WD40. I assume if you're considering refurbishing your original injectors, you must not be totally satisfied with the OsideTiger injectors because of their aforementioned difficulty to keep them efficient in lean burn. If this is true, I may just have my stock injectors refurbed as well. You're pretty much about to sway my choice one way or another, so I appreciate the added feedback.

Can we get an update on your experiences with Osidetiger injectors? From your fuel log it looks like you've learned to get back to great mileage with them, even with their touchiness. Thanks

I think my increase in MPG is do to all the extra mods and warm weather lately.
I still think that I might try and cleanup the old injectors and see what they can do with all the mods.

Looks like they finally have a set thats 190cc instead of the 220cc that I got .. I wonder if its worth the money to downgrade so to speak.
Stock 92-95 Civics use 240cc the VX was 190cc.
I wouldn't hesitate to get them if I could see the savings in gas.
Anyone out there have a better understanding of cc#s that could relate that down to a MPG increase?

ECU will correct the fuel tables due to less injector, same amount of fuel will be used.

FYI I used Ford 30 lb/hr injectors, about 325 cc/min in my Civic that originally had 240 cc/min injectors, still managed 45+ mpg not even trying.

I have to agree and disagree.
I agree that the ECU will try to adjust as much as it can, very limited amount.
But I also disagree because if it were 100% adjustable by the ECU then there would only be one size fuel injector that all car manufactures would use.
I was not able to get 190cc injectors delivered to Canada this time
Honda Civic VX CX D15Z1 D15B8 Fuel Injectors Best Upgrade for more MPG's eg OBD1
I don't understand the issue in dealing with Canada

I ended up having my injectors refurbished by OsideTiger almost a year ago and I'm very satisfied with the results. The injectors definitely perform better and I did notice a slight increase in MPG. This is how they arrived; vacuum sealed with new o-rings and an extra along with the old replaced parts.
