Bill,
I'm not sure that a gasoline
fueled 16X as pictured would need 18Kpsi of injection
pressure. Where they have the injector located, it could inject before the
majority of the compression takes place. Even if it were timed at the last
second before the injection port was closed, it still isn't anywhere near TDC.
I do wonder about those other two
bosses.......Common rail spark assisted turbocharged, heavy fuel????? If so a
longer stroke would definitely be an advantage. Probably would need an
electrically assisted turbo to get the thing to start. From the location of the
bosses, timing would look to be very early on the injection. Then again, I
have no experience with a spark assisted low compression diesel. To get any kind
of efficiency you would have to have a turbo with a 2/1 pressure ratio to get
the engine pressures high enough.

Bobby,
For gasoline N/A direct injection requires
around 18K psi. Diesels use as high as 22K psi.
While this sounds scary, the equipment has been
around for years and has proven reliability.
