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.
