Water/methanol injectors?
Is the water/methanol mix corrosive to fuel injectors? I'm just wondering, since I almost always see water/meth injection setups with a simple single nozzle or at most, 4 smaller nozzles in the intake runners. I would think if the mix isn't corrosive to injectors that using a standalone EMS would easily be able to maximize the benefit of having the injection setup in the first place and have the EMS just run it similar to a staged injection setup.

There is a "pulse type" injection system for water/meth which works like a fuel injector with the timing of your motor, its not something anyone here uses to my knowledge. Its unclear to me if that system needs a special injector or if the standard emitters will work, but the EMS should be able to control this as well since its just another injector. The nature of water/meth is to cool down the combustion as well as the entire top end from the injector forward, effectively steam cleaning our intake/exhaust valves, having a pulse type system which just hits your combustion cycle would defeat some of the benefits there I do believe.
