Toyota 3T Engine Specifications

The Toyota 3T is a 1.8 liter (1,770 cc, 108.0 cubic inches) straight-four, four-stroke carburetor gasoline engine from Toyota T-family. The engine was produced from 1977 through 1985. This engine used OHV (overhead valve) design with two valves per cylinder (8 valves in total), cast-iron cylinder block and an alloy cylinder head with hardened valve seats and a hemispherical combustion chamber design (HEMI). The 3T engine utilizes a timing chain. Bore and stroke are 85.0 mm (3.35 in) and 78.0 mm (3.07 in), respectively. The 3T engine was available in different variants: The 3T-C with emission control system. The 3T-U with Toyota Total Clean System (TTC-C). The 3T-EU with EFI sysytem and Toyota Total Clean System (TTC-C). The Toyota 3T engine output ranges from 71 PS (52 kW, 70 HP) to 106 PS (78 kW, 105 HP) of horsepower and from 126 Nm (12.8 kgm; 93 ft-lb) to 162 Nm (16.5 kgm; 119.6 ft-lb) of torque between the California 3T-C and JDM-spec fuel-injected 3T-EU.
