actually direct injection makes insane air: fuel ratios possible. injecting fuel on the compression stroke helps air charge to be ignited with less fuel, and the direct injection with the "dish" piston allows there to be a relatively rich mixture near the spark plug while the rest of the air charge has the noted 65:1
honda had to have been perfecting the flow characteristics of that combustion chamber to get over 40:1 ratios

No, maybe. It isnt the k-series as we know it in the si and type s. Those engines arent direct injection.

65:1 compression...? there's no way. I would have to see the individual compression gauge readings... i mean some diesels are like 22:1 so I guess it's possible but there'd be no room for any modificatioin to that engine the valves would have to almost go into the pistons on tdc to achieve that. I wanna see the inside of that engine and see it run on the engine stand before I believe that... oh btw for all you turbo and supercharger nuts... you might as well forget that idea, you would need a headgasket made out of titanium to keep the head and block sealed together. Good find man!
