3.2 injectors into a 3.0, would it make a difference or just a waist of time

Or would a 3.2 throttle body make a difference, or just a waist of time.

What's fly by wire throttle body?

[Kevin Wood]

The 3.2 throttle body is fly by wire, which means that rather than being controlled by a cable directly from the accelerator pedal it is controlled electronically by a servo motor driven by the ECU. This means you'd need to replace the whole engine management system and wiring loom to the throttle pedal to make it work. Not worth it.

I doubt any of the parts from a 3.2 would improve a 3.0. Injectors may well be the same but if not will just put the calibration of the injection system out. Pouring more fuel into an engine does not give you more power.

A 3.2 engine only has 10 BHP more than a 3.0 so even if you swapped the whole lot you'd barely notice a difference.
