Toyota L engine


The L family first appeared in October 1977, it is a series of inline four-cylinder diesel engines. 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. In Gibraltar, 5L-E engine are still used in Eighth-generation Toyota Hilux and Second-generation Toyota Fortuner. Vehicles with the diesel engine were exclusive to Toyota Japan dealership locations called Toyota Diesel Store locations until the sales channel was disbanded in 1988.

L

The L is the first L engine produced. Note: Toyota just calls it the L engine, not the 1L engine., four-cylinder diesel engine. Output is at 4200 rpm and of torque or JIS.
Applications:
The 2L is a 4-cylinder diesel engine. Bore and stroke is, with a compression ratios of around 22.3:1 and redline of 4800 rpm. Outputs range from and torque of.
Applications:
The 2L-II is an upgrade of the 2L. Bore and stroke remains the same. The most significant change is that the camshaft lifts the valve directly via tappet instead of a rocker arm. The valve clearance is adjusted using shims. Later L engines also use this method of valve operation. Maximum output is gross at 4200 rpm and maximum torque is net or gross at 2400 rpm.
Applications:
The 2L-T is a turbo version of the 2L still being produced since 1985. The bore and stroke are the same but the 2L-T has a compression ratio of 20:1. Output is gross at 4000 rpm with gross of torque at 2200 rpm.
Applications:
The 2L-T II is an upgrade of the 2L-T. Of the same dimensions as all other 2L engines, the most significant change is that the camshaft lifts the valve directly via tappet instead of a rocker arm. The valve clearance is adjusted using shims. Compression rate is also 20:1. Output is at 4000 rpm, at 2400 rpm
Applications:
Developed as a new version of 2L-T, the 2L-TE features a new development used in diesel engines at that time, the EFI 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 and it is a SOHC engine, having 8 valves. It also comes with a Turbo charger. The bore and stroke is. Due to the EFI system, the 2L-TE develops significantly more torque than its predecessor. Maximum horsepower is at 3800 rpm and maximum torque is at 2400 rpm. Redline of this engine is at 4800 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.
Applications:
The High Pressure turbocharged version of 2L-TE features ceramic chambers. The fuel is injected with a high pressure system. Bore and stroke remains the same, for both. Maximum output was at 4000 rpm and maximum torque was. Compression ratio remains the same, 21.0:1. Comes with a Turbo charger and used the EFI system as well.
Applications:
The 3L is a four-cylinder diesel engine. Bore and stroke is, with a compression ratio of 22.2:1. Output is gross at 4000 rpm with gross of torque at 2400 rpm.
The 5L is a four-cylinder diesel engine. Bore and stroke is, with a compression ratio of 22.2:1. Output is gross at 4000 rpm with gross of torque at 2400 rpm.

5L-E

The 5L-E is a EFI version of the 5L engine. It is the latest member of the L family. It has a bore and stroke of, with a compression ratio of 22.2:1. Output is gross at 4200 rpm with gross of torque at 2200 rpm. Power output varies according to fitment. The engine number is found on the top face of the block at the front of the engine.
Applications:
