Toyota L engine

The L family first appeared in October 1977, it is a series of 4-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. 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.

The L is the first L engine produced. Note: Toyota just call it the L engine, not the 1L engine. 2.2 L (2,188 cc), 4-cylinder diesel engine. Output is 72 hp (54 kW) at 4,200 rpm and 93 ft·lb (126 N·m) or 142 N·m JIS. Applications:

The 2L is a 2.4 L (2,446 cc) 4-cylinder diesel engine. Bore is 92 mm and stroke is 92 mm, with a compression ratios of around 22.3:1 and redline of 4800 rpm. Outputs range from 76 to 87 hp (57 to 65 kW) and torque of 15.8–16.8 kg·m (155–165 N·m).

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 (3L and 5L) also use this method of valve operation. Maximum output is 89 hp (66 kW) gross at 4,200 rpm and maximum torque is 149 N·m net or 167 N·m (123 lbf·ft) gross at 2,400 rpm.

Applications:

The 2L-T is a 2.4 L (2446 cc) 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 85 to 91 hp (63 to 68 kW) gross at 4,000 rpm with 139 ft·lb (188 N·m) gross of torque at 2,200 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 94 PS (69 kW) at 4000 rpm, 22.0 kg·m (216 N·m) at 2400 rpm
