Toyota L engine
Encyclopedia
The L family first appeared in October 1977, it is a series of 4 cylinder diesel engine
s. It is the first diesel engine
from Toyota to use a rubber timing belt in conjunction with a SOHC head. Engines like 2L-II and 2L-T are still in production to the present day.
. Output is 62 hp at 4,200 rpm and 93 ft·lb (126 N·m).
Applications:
. Bore is 92 mm and stroke is 92 mm, with a compression ratio
s of around 22.3:1. Outputs range from 72 hp and torque of 15.8 kgm.

engines at that time, the EFI
(Electronic Fuel Injection) system. Although Toyota used this fuel injection system in gasoline engines years before, this is among the first Diesel
engines to adopt such a system. Although the basic construction is similar to a modern gasoline injector, the EFI
system in 2L-TE utilize considerably higher injection pressures. The EFI
system meter fuel with great precision and succeeded in increasing the engine's efficiency.
Like the 2L-T , it is 2.4L
(2,446 cc) and it is a SOHC (Single Overhead Cam) engine, having 8 valves. It also comes with a Turbo charger. The bore is 92 mm and stroke is also 92 mm. Due to the EFI
system, the 2L-TE develops significantly more torque than its predecessor. Maximum horsepower is 97 hp at 3,800 rpm and maximum torque
is 24.54 kgm at 2,400 rpm. Redline
of this engine is at 4,800 rpm. Compression ratio is 21.0 : 1, slightly higher than 2L-T. 2L-TE was largely replaced by the KZ
engine in 1993, although it continued to be used in some models until 2000.
