Most of the water injection systems use either EGT sensors or boost sensors to control the water flow. Most have EGT sensors that kick in a second stage when EGT raises to high after the first stage is activated by a preset boost level.
Where I see a potential problem running a water injection system on a NA motor is dropping to idle after pulling a big hill. The EGT may be high enough that the water injection would still be on while the engine was running at idle. That may create more problems than it cures. I would do some serious research before I attempted something along those lines.
