    Where are the injectors? I do not see them on the intake manifold.

    It is port injection which makes sense for a Atkinson cycle. The intake valves are kept open during part of the compression stroke pushing the fuel air mix back into the manifold. It doesn't stay there long as during the compression stroke, another cylinder is pulling in the fuel-air mix.
