Now I understand my mistake, I was trying to read the concept through adaptation on an existing engine which means identical capacity.

Anyway, there is more potential if you start from a diesel since this inlet valve event is happening at the beginning of the power stroke when you also inject fuel.

What's the residual pressure at the end of a standard exhaust stroke ?

And yes I did read the Wikipedia article.

The more I think about it, the least I can figure out how to squeeze induction and this ATDC spark.
