they would probably be a downgrade............ since the 318is has 4 injectors they may well be larger than the 6 in the 325.

As far as fitting is the 318is high impedance?

There's a bit more to engine tuning that sticking on bigger injectors. The main effect of this would be to increase both engine wear and fuel consumption.
The engine ECU would have to be remapped to make correct use of the injectors, and even then, if the engine isn't modified to flow more air, then there's unlikely to be any improvement of significance.

I do intend to put an induction kit and a zone chip into the mix shortly just was curious if it would make a difference to have those injectors! doesnt seem to be worth the hassle! Brian After ive the chip in would a re-map be needed?

The induction kit will make no difference at all except an increase in noise, and the chip IS a remap.
