Ken,

After reading the wiki it is saying that the injector shot is going in
during the intake stroke, unlike a diesel that happens on the compression
stroke, so why do you need a fancy high pressure pump?

Here is some more on direct injection, it sounds pretty interesting:

With all the companies casting after market heads, and making after marker
ECUs, this could be an option in the future.

Maybe. It works like a diesel in that fuel is sprayed directly into the 
chamber at around 1200-1600 psi and only air goes thru the intake & past
the 
valves. The only real 'breakthru' is sealing a high pressure gasoline
pump that can 
be mass-produced. This was the stumbling block for decades- the mid-'50s 
Mercedes gullwings had direct injection fuel pumps with internal clearances 
measured in angstroms.... In any case, D.I. engines are un-modifiable by you
& I, so 
personally, I'm not interested in yet another hands-off black-box.
Expecting 
the Gov't to seal all street engines any day now. Sigh- J Deryke
