Actually increased compression and direct injection work together to produce more power and better efficiency. Why not "lump them together".



Yes, yes! And someone could make such plugjectors and sell them to people who don't have the skills and/or equipment to make them themselves - just like high-comp pistons are sold today.

Possibly, but just adding direct injection without looking at the characteristics of the combustion chamber design, flame front propagation, as well as other aspects of the situation will probably not produce the best results and could produce nothing. It needs a systematic approach. If just slapping a set of different injectors in an engine would make a dramatic difference it would have already been done.

Way beyond the average tinkerer.
