The rest of your post is far too broken and fractured to have a proper discussion.

I'm working on a little diagram, so I will post it, because I am a visual learner more than anything.
I hope after that the fractured response to each reply will be eliminated, I was merely hoping for a response from each individual.

It can greatly increases how much torque you can get out of your engine if you put in enough fuel to match.

I was working on my diagram, which already included direct injection, when I realized, 'what about auto-ignition', so I was doing a little research about it and even had the question setup in a reply so I wouldn't forget to ask about it. I guess you just beat me to it! I like the idea of auto-ignition (in the cylinder, of course), because that eliminates the need of a spark plug (and the associated items.)
More torque would mean a smaller engine would be needed, right?
