Paul,

Can you please resend the correct link--unless I'm missing something!

Nothing specific on the 16B. Just direct injection in general.
Only indicative on the amount of R&D effort being expended
in this field.

Paul,
A lot of work has been completed on DI and a lot running in Marine engines,
recreational vehicles and Government projects. Bill Jepson is working on
this as we speak
Parts are available, the only problem as I see it is the best placement of
the injector.
If Bill could get some info on where Mazda places the injector, DI can be
retro fitted to existing engines.
This may be an over simplification on my part, but that's how I see it.

Down load this list of technical papers.

Curtiss Wright, John Deere and RPI did a lot of R&D on rotary engine direct injection and wrote a lot of technical papers on the subject.

I can hardly wait to see what Mazda comes up with. If anybody can make it
work Mazda will.
