The will it work thread?

So after all of this, if you could design the perfect diesel engine, or modify a suitable candidate, what would you do? With my very limited knowledge, I would want high pressure air induction (Higher combustion/ cleaner burn/ less emission) coupled with water injection (reduce temps). Air/fuel/water mix would have to be spot on....

Sound right or way off? And why is diesel/gas combo a cheap way to increase HP?

What makes modified diesels good for everyday, is a quick torque rise, flat torque curve and a correctly sized turbo,
