The humble Starlet, a twin charged kingslayer

- In today's video, i had the pleasure of meeting up with a guy called John Northmore. Over the past decade John has hand built this turbocharged and supercharged Starlet nugget. It is truly a wolf in sheep's clothing. We drove, we had chats, we had tae (of course). Throughout the day it became very clear that John is extremely passionate about this little starlet, and he has spent time engineering out any issues he came across while building this monster. No systems has been deleted, so the car is super user friendly. The supercharger occupies the space of the power steering pump,so rather than being rid of power steering, hes fitted an electric steering pump from a saxo. And this theme carried out throughout the car. Its well balance and well rounded, it doesn't even torque steer somehow.
I really hope you enjoy this video as much as i enjoyed making it, John deserves massive credit for this build, he has attempted a build that would scare most others away, and he has absolutely nailed it

Thank you to the UA-cam algorithm that brought me this.
Thanks for stopping by, it’s quite the car isn’t it 🚗
John is one of the best starlet builders.
An incredible and special little car, so much attention to detail in the build and words can't describe the feeling of the power coming on, welldone to john on the great build
What a beast, ive seen this car around the web over the years , thank you so much for the mini doc with detailed info :)
John we in Australia love what you are doing ! Much respect
Thanks for watching ✌️
Amazing build.
Amazing stuff Joe. Mary's very comfortable behind the wheel isn't she😂
I’ve only seen pictures of this car but never in person. Would love to have a nose under the bonnet some day.
Thanks John and Joey for sharing 👊🏻
Perfect sleeper
That's a class machine! You'd think butter wouldn't melt seeing yer man tipping along in that 😅
Well done John, you are a fantastic engineer, what a machine.
It’s out of this world 🚗🚀
Wow, just wow!
Take off stickers off side window and cover front with bug mesh
incredible build hats off to the man
Great video 👏
Fantastic
Incredible Build! Nice "little" sleeper you've got here. I built the same system in my Audi and i'm wondering which flap you use between the SC and the Turbo. I'm currently using the Audi BiTDI bypass-valve (Audi 059145901C) and it is working well, but i think i could use a bigger one.
he is the Man, He gave me some good info when i contacted him, Free Horsepower
He’s an absolute gent

Incredible car ! I have researched supercharged 4e's and not many people done those let alone double charge. I wish you would have gotten in there more with the camera and gave us a more torough look.
Hi there, if really in an incredible build for sure, thanks for your input, I have a nice collection of pictures of this engine which I will be posting both here and on my instagram very soon for a more in-depth look at what’s going on 😊
Thanks for watching ✌️
@@joeygt6794 Awesome I am really looking forward to it. Im thinking of doing similar. Can you please help identify the supercharger, he just says that its a mercedes one, any more info plz ?? Thank you !
Sure, so the supercharger used is an Eaton M62, these came in the merk clk/slk. He built a custom mounting bracket with slotted holes to allow him to line it up with the crank pully correctly. I believe the charger consumes 2liters of air on each revolution, which works out at about 24/28,000 L of air per minute 😅. It’s wild
@@joeygt6794 Wow thank you very much ! Now I know what to look for :)
@@qaz3000 also... the size of that crankpully 😜
Sorry yous truly jmeo Kingsley
I'd pay you high 5 figures to build this for me hahahaha, what a weapon this thing is!
A weapon is the only way to describe it. Such a unique build. The urge to try build one for myself is real 😅✌️. Thanks for watching man
How’s the gearbox/clutch holding up?
Rifling the intake runners? As in gun barrel rifling?
Exactly like gun barrel rifling. Sick right ?
@@joeygt6794 but why.
It’s to help with the flow of intake air into the chambers. It is to allow for a smoother flow of air in
😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🙈👍
Don’t know how I stumble across your channel, but being so new and not “professional” per say… I’m absolutely loving it and cannot wait to see the future with what’s to come.
🙏🏻
I’d kill for those specs on the supercharger and rims ?!? 😍 steelies.
We don’t get much euro down under 🦘 haha
Wow, thanks man that really means a lot. It’s so cool to hear that people are enjoying the content. I have a spec list that I’m still working on and I’ll get it posted once it’s complete. Lots of people seem really interested in Johns build ✌️
Thanks for watching 😊
