Mercedes and Lotus have been working on the technology for some time.

To achieve the 2,250psi it will have to go through an injection pump like a diesel which will control the amount of fuel going into the cylinder, thus the intake will be just a big air inlet and the motor pulls the air in when more throttle is applied.

At least this is the way the Powerstroke works, which is a DI engine,

Basically all modern diesels run injector pumps and DI. One thing I notice no one bringing up, cost. I doubt the injectors will cost what they do in a diesel, but still expect $250-$300 a piece. Maxed out your stock injectors and wanna upgrade huh? How about a $2K+ swap. Food for thought. I would imagine for a long while the aftermarket will be very limited to accomodating the new platform. This does nothing to the LSX crowd except bring down prices for the cars and parts.
