I wouldn't bother with an auto start stop just do it manually.
I'm not sure if any individual has adapted a kers to an existing vehicle. The cost seems really high for an unknown return.

Yeah, I appreciate all the advice but some of these mods are entering the realm of
EXPENSIVE and then to have my engine builder and custom shop try to incorporate them is expensive. The learning curve to do this is also going to be problematic. Honestly, to set my car up for start-stop, I am not sure if it can safely be done and more likely than not it will result in more wear-and-tear simply because the motor was never intended to operate this way and I have a custom shop trying to figure out how to get the system to work. I don't see the benefit and if I am using a cleaner Bio-Fuel anyways, who cares about emissions, mine will be lower from the get go!
