I haven't read all the details, but have you considered inert exhaust gas dilution? If an egr system were to be used, but with an added egr intercooler to keep cylinder charge temps down (for detonation purposes) during compression. You would be able to displace some of that oxygen instead of using something (water) with such a high specific heat to cool with. Just an idea off the top of my head.
