Effect of start/stop on turbo?

[t4thfavor]

Such a funny confusing crowd

Dont dare say a tailgate damper is a waste of time.
But auto start/stop can be beaten to death time and time again.

The feature saves fuel, that's its designed purpose.
Globally we are going down the wrong path believing this world will thrive on burning dead dinosaurs. Do whatever you wish, there will always be the bottom feeding rednecks burning coal in their big diesel trucks cuz it's the American way. I only pray they're the first ones to choke to death on the atmosphere when it goes sour so I can stand up...well maybe kneel, and proclaim, that's karma you dumb f#cks. Hack.cough.choke....wheeeze
Ok that's maybe a little harsh, it will be your inbred grandchildren that should go first.

I think the argument here is that while it may save a few gallons of fuel annually, the energy represented by those few gallons of fuel is consumed (and then some}) by 1. All the new electronics, and hardware the truck has to run in order to properly start and stop, and 2. Producing, shipping, installing, repairing, and subsequent recycling of the broken parts.


I personally like the system, but I can understand how it may be interpreted as "carbon shifting" rather than "carbon prevention". Just because your car didn't make the carbon, doesn't mean it didn't get made.

We should just reforest as much of the earth as we can so that some day (a really long time from now) someone can discover oil, and the whole shit storm can restart.

both valid concerns, but unlikely. its an unfair world we live in with the economy driving everything we do, and its all killing us slowly. Yet, giving back a little is better than giving back nothing at all.

the broken parts thing, is hypothetical at this time. while I'm sure some will require replacement parts, the consensus of every vehicle wearing out the "starter" is hogwash . i wear through more brakes and tires than any starter will cost. So should I disable my brakes so I wont have to replace them down the road?

Agreed mostly.

It doesn't use the starter, it uses the alternator. The MOST common failure point will be the battery lasting a few years less. I have a few batteries in the 10-12 year old range that still work perfectly, I'll be interested to see how long the Ranger battery lasts. I'm still too lazy to do the math on how much fuel I actually save vs how much battery life - X years would cost.

It would be difficult to actually pinpoint how much of your battery life reduction was a direct result of the start/stop. There are so many other factors, but it would definitely be an interesting case study.

I do my part, no matter how close I live to the US and no matter how much others pollute. It's a stupid argument to think it doesnt matter. Even if it's a drop in the bucket.

I love Canadians. They never have a problem telling Americans what they would do differently politically, environmentally, etc. From what I can tell you own a pickup truck and a helicopter. Thanks for doing your part...we are all humbled.

Is fake news bickering? On the internet it is all fake guessing. It is entertaining and creates more posts for the web site.

Excuse my ignorance, but where IS this “ignore” button? I haven’t seen one (not that I want to ignore anyone).

Just click on your "Personal Details" page at the top right then scroll down on your left and you'll see "People You Ignore".

I dont ignore anyone either as this site is really great. Now the Tacoma World site is another story.
