“We upgraded the rotors to cope with the increase in speed.” Also from factory are large Brembo brake callipers for stopping power.
MARKX ENGINE DRIVER
This system continuously adjusts the shock absorbers to the driving mode as selected by the driver and road conditions, keeping the 18-inch wheels in contact with the tarmac. The Mark X came with Toyota Electronically Modulated Suspension, TEMS. There were some factory items that didn’t need to be upgraded.
Now with 6psi of positive manifold pressure the car makes 433 horsepower. On its old nitrous oxide setup the power figures were 340. When stock the Mark X made 289 horsepower at its rear wheels.
“The setup required some out of the box thinking and some non-traditional engineering.” There’s an external wastegate and a front mounted intercooler only made noticeable by the gigantic red blow off valve on one of its pipes. Under the Mark X, in the middle of the exhaust system, Crawford found a space and added the turbocharger. Keeping the boost pressure low and the engine compression high means the car will still behave like factory when the turbo isn’t operating.” “Since we wanted to retain as much factory drivability as possible, I didn’t want to lower the engine’s compression ratio and make it sluggish off boost. Low for a modern turbocharger, but given Crawford’s ultimate goal, it was perfect. “It’s self-contained, so all you have to do is change the oil in it like you would your engine at pre-set intervals.”īeing self-oiling the turbocharger has a maximum pressure rating of around 14psi. The American company’s turbocharger is a self-contained unit, requiring no connection to an engine’s oiling system, able to lubricate itself. Not one to shy away, Crawford did his research and found his solution, an oil-less turbocharger from Comp Turbo Technology, Inc. With the turbocharger under the car, plumbing the latter elements would be a difficult automotive challenge. Standard turbocharging not only requires the exhaust energy of the vehicle, but its oil and water for lubrication and cooling. A very rare solution, nigh unheard of in Jamaica. If he couldn’t mount the turbocharger under the bonnet in a traditional manner, he’d mount it under the car. Like a mad scientist in a children’s cartoon Crawford had a eureka moment.
“The customer wanted to retain a factory look and as much as the factory setup as possible,” he said. The customer wanted more power, so we decided to turbocharge it,” he explained. “This is actually the same car that used to run nitrous. Not one to rest on his laurels, Crawford wanted to push the boundaries of the Mark X and after finding a willing client he dove headlong into the process of adding a turbocharger to a vehicle that comes naturally aspirated from factory. Two bottles of nitrous oxide, a few keyboard clicks later and Crawford fended off the heat directed his way with a decisive win.
MARKX ENGINE CRACKED
The rivalry had made it to the real world and using his IT knowledge Crawford cracked the engine management unit of the Toyota Mark X to begin his master plan, beat the BMWs.
