Extra Inector Controller project

I'm just trying to make a stand-alone device that works along with the
stock fuel system to use additional injectors to provide fuel for an
aftermarket turbo or upping the boost on the stock turbo. Much like the
GReddy Rebic III or HKS AIC, or any number of similar devices.  Only I
want to do it myself ;-)

Speaking of different engine configurations, does anyone know of a good
document or website somewhere that describes in general the ignition and
injection cycles for various types of engines, i.e. 8 cylinder, 4
cylinder, rotaries, etc?  I know, its basic stuff and I should know it
already, but I'm a bit new to the game, and I haven't been able to find
anything that describes this.

Thanks,

jds
