Toyota 3c-te

[shaq]

hi guyz....

i currently own a 91 maruti gypsy with a toyota 1c engine....

i need more power so im thinking of upgrading to the toyota 3c-te engine.....but im also concerned about the mileage....

so can you guyz plz tell me is 3c te a good choice.....?

It will do better then 1C because of being modern EFI

[shaq]

can you specify the mileage.... and will it fit in the gypsy?

they are identical in fitment, but to get it functioning perfectly - you need to do some fiddling with the pump and its boost aneroid - the rest is easy

no its not - the only thing that the ECU will control is the EGR and in some odd cases the idle and wastegate - but in 90% engines from japan its a no

the engine still uses a mechanical injection pump and mechanical nozzles

You must be right but i have seen corollas with 3C-T doing 16 km/liter in city and 18+ on highways. same E100/110 corolla with 2C cannot match that, let alone 1C

My lucida with 3C-TE varies between 7-12.5 km/liter between city and highway usage, tried and tested, i bet 2C/1C cannot do same in that machine.

If 1C is fitted already that 2C or 3C will not require much extra work. mountings are identical. just put your hands on a RWD 3C-TE from a Townace/Lieteace and it will fit. A FWD 3C-TE will not fit in without major rework.

im going for the rwd.... can you specify the exact mileage and will the engine give more power....

or else should i go for 3c witout the turbo....?

Expect 12-14 kms/liter in Gypsi

I suggest going for non turbo as it is less problematic in long term. Turbo has its own set of issues. Power will definately increase by at least 40%

can you suggest any other toyota engines with good power and mileage....

i dont want to make any further alterations in my hood so plz suggest the engines which can be fitted without any problem...

3c turbo - it shoves out good solid torque (like a slidehammer), if you are taking up an engine swap and already have done a 1C swap i believe you know how to work on diesels - so setting it up will not be an issue.

the first big difference are the fast glow plugs - and its fast timer too (Fujitsu Ten unit) , - i'll tell you how to wire it up when you get it. block the EGR as it only causes retarded power (but a cooler burn too) - if you bought the a/t version chuck out the throttle valve

7 to 12 km/lit???? - how much does the lucida weigh
