Default HELP car won't start

Ok here's what happened today...

I needed to borrow my boys stock injectors(240cc) from his 95 gsr hatch to start up my new engine since my injectors were clogged. So we removed his injectors and put them on my car. My car started like 3min after a few tweaks. So then we put his injectors back to his car. The car started but it was stuttering and white smoke was coming out. We took out the injectors again, drained the rail and cleaned each injector. We put them back in again, primed the ignition to check the fuel pressure gauge and it went to 40psi then slowly started to drop to 0. Car didn't want to start. The starter goes "ttkk" only once. We tried a direct start(wired from battery to starter)... same thing "ttkk", push started the car... nothing, we swapped my starter... same thing "ttkk". We're all lost and puzzled and feel sorry for the kid for doing us... especially me a favor and now we have to deal with this bs. Any ideas anyone? Anything stupid will be ignored. Let's hear the techs.

Ok we found out that the motor was flooded with a massive amount of fuel. We pulled the spark plugs out and wow they were burned. We gave it multiple cranks to let the fuel spit out into the atmosphere to let it drain. Cylinder's 1 and 2 still had fuel when 3 and 4 were cleansed. We still decided to try to start the car so we put in new spark plugs and connected the wires. Sweet it started but it was smoking a lot which we expected. The gauge was at 30psi so we adjusted it to 40psi. We let the car idle for a good 30min and it was still smoking. We checked the injectors and found out that one of them were cracked . Called up someone to pick up an injector and then found out that cylinder 1 is flooded big time . This should be easy from here, we're just going to make it sit till tomorrow and see if we can change all the injectors cause the spark plugs are still in good condition. Any input or any other solutions we can try besides just making it sit and changing the injectors?
