The Toyota 2L-TE is a 2.4 L (2,446 cc, 149.3 cu·in) four cylinders, four-stroke cycle water-cooled turbocharged internal combustion diesel engine, manufactured by the Toyota Motor Corporation.
The 2L-TE engine has a cast-iron cylinder block with 92.0 mm (3.62 in) cylinder bores and a 92.0 mm (3.62 in) piston stroke. Compression ratio rating was 21:1. The motor has a cast iron cylinder head with a single overhead camshaft (SOHC) with two valves per cylinder. The 2L-TE is equipped with EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) system. Due to the EFI system, the 2L-TE engine develops significantly more torque than its predecessor 2L-T.
The Toyota 2L-TE produced 97 PS (71 kW, 96 HP) at 3,800 rpm of maximum horsepower and 221 Nm (22.5 kg⋅m, 163 ft·lb) at 2,400 rpm of maximum torque. Redline of this engine is at 4,800 rpm.
The breakdown of the engine code is as follows:
- 2 – 2nd generation engine
- L – Engine family
- T – Turbocharged
- E – EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) system
