Toyota C engine
The Toyota C engine family was a series of inline-4 diesel engines. There were two earlier generations of an engine Toyota named as the "Type C". The first generation was introduced in 1940 as a modification of the Type A engine. This first "Type C" was installed in the Toyota AE. The second generation was the first diesel engine at 1500cc used in the CS20 series 1959 Toyota Crown in October 1959. Japanese market vehicles with diesel engines were exclusive to Toyota Japan dealerships called Toyota Diesel Shop locations from 1979 until the dealership was cancelled in 1988.
C
The original C engine was first introduced in October 1959, for the Crown Diesel (CS20). Derived from the R-series petrol engine, it has a displacement of 1,491 cc and produces 40 PS (29 kW).[1] It was underpowered, and due to the use of the insufficiently strong R-series block it was also not very durable. When the new 3R engine required a re-designed block, Toyota chose to cancel the C engine rather than re-engineer it.[2] Production ended in March 1961, and Toyota chose to focus on the more powerful diesel J engine which appeared in 1964.
