Aside from the discrepancy between the heat content of Diesel fuel compared to gasoline,the reason a Diesel engine is more efficient than a gasoline engine is it's lack of a throttle plate,running always at W.O.T..
If you add an additional restriction to your gasoline engine's induction system you're shooting yourself in both feet.
If anything,you want a Mitsubishi GDI research engine of the 1990s,which is throttle-less,and picks up 15% thermal efficiency accruing only to its LACK of intake restriction and superior volumetric efficiency.
Save turbulence creation for your combustion chamber design.That's where it counts.
