Water injection

I know Methanol has being discussed and it does not seem to work with the S65 and at least 1 specific ECU-flash ( not ESS ) due to the ionic knocking control used with this engine.

What about water injection only with the ESS kit ? Is it possible to use water injection with the "standard" ESS tune without negative side effects and of course, keeping the knocking control system of the S65 healthy ?

As you might know I'm in the market to purchase an ESS-VT1 kit and I fully trust ESS that this non-intercooled setup works perfect in any ambient condition. Now, what happens if I decide to lower IAT's only on very hot summerdays or on the track by injecting water only ? No failsafe would be needed for running out of water thus the ESS-VT1 ECU tune is perfectly working without water-injection.

I'm just curious.

Thanks,
Eugen
