The only thing I know about GDI is what I read in an article from Honda about a year and a half ago, and that was Honda engineers touting a design that could run on 60:1 AFR reliably. (Nothing further came of it, that I know of.)

I've considered attempting to make an old ICE into a GDI type engine, but I never really had the time and patience at the same time to sit and play with it. I may consider doing it on a small V-engine, like a twin cylinder lawnmower (20HP Kohler or something.)
