The Toyota 3C-TE is a 2.2 L (2,184 cc, 133.3 cu·in) four-cylinders, four-stroke cycle water-cooled naturally turbocharged combustion diesel engine, from the Toyota C-family, manufactured by the Toyota Motor Corporation from 1998 to 2004.
The 3C-TE diesel engine has a cast-iron cylinder block with 86.0 mm (3.39 in) cylinder bores and a 94.0 mm (3.7 in) piston stroke. The compression ratio rating is 22.6:1.
The Toyota 3C-TE engine has an aluminum cylinder head with a belt-driven single overhead camshaft (SOHC) and 2 valves per cylinder (8 in total).
The Toyota 3C-TE engine produced from 94.0 PS (69.0 kW; 92.0 HP) at 4,400 rpm to 100.0 PS (74.0 kW; 99.0 HP) at 4,200 rpm of maximum output power and from 206.0 N·m (21 kg·m, 151.8 ft·lb) at 2,200 rpm to 226.0 N·m (23 kg·m, 166.6 ft·lb) at 2,600 rpm of peak torque.
The breakdown of the engine code is as follows:
- 3 – 3-rd generation engine
- C – Engine family
- T – Turbocharged
- E – Electronic fuel injection (EFI)

Cylinder block
The cylinder block is made of cast iron. The crankshaft has 8 counterbalance weights and supported by 5 bearings. An 86.0 mm (3.39 in) cylinder bore and 94.0 mm (3.7 in) piston stroke give the 3C engine a total of 2,184 cc of displacement. The compression ratio rating is 22.6:1.
Pistons are made of high temperature-resistant aluminum alloy. The piston pin is full floating. Each piston is fitted with two compression rings and a single oil ring. The top ring is made of stainless steel, the second ring is made of cast-iron.
