I also hold certification in chassis fabrication and High Performance Engine building and I wanted to apply some of my knowledge into making an economical fun car.

Impressive. You know a lot more than me, but a question is if you set up a higher compression ratio closer to the cr direct injection engines have, won't you have a problem with detonation? The y5 had a knock sensor, so won't the ECU react to detonation by retarding timing and kinda undermining your purpose a little?
