2L-TE

Developed as a new version of 2L-T, the 2L-TE features a new development used in Diesel 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 (2446cc) 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 is stronger than 2L-T, having maximum output of 97HP (72.3kW) at 3800 RPM and maximum torque is 24.54kg.m (240.3 N･m) 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 replaced by the KZ engine in the year 1993.

This engine was used in Toyota Hi-Lux and in Toyota Land Cruiser Prado
