From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Toyota B engine family was a series of inline-four diesel engines.

Toyota also had a 3.4 L (3389 cc) inline-six gasoline engine from 1937 to 1947 that was also called the B engine. The earlier engine was used in early Toyota cars and trucks and in the first version of the Land Cruiser when it was known as the BJ Jeep. The later engine was used in later versions of the Land Cruiser. The two engines are unrelated and were not made at the same time.

Toyota made 5 generations of the B family engines, each one identified with a number before the B letter. Also, Toyota uses a series of letters to identify technical improvements to their engines:

- The number 1 (one) before the number of the engine model means that the engine uses direct injection, otherwise, indirect injection

- The F letter after the B letter means that the engine is multivalvular. Since the B family are inline-fours, that means that the engine uses 16 valves.

- The T letter, means that the engine is turbocharged

- The E letter, means that the engine is electronically controlled engine control unit (ECU)

For example, the 15B-FTE Engine is the fifth generation of the B engines, comes with 16 valves, is turbocharged, direct-injected and uses an ECU.

In August 1988, Toyota released re-designed B series engines (specifically the B, 3B and 11B) with a number of improvements. A mono-block design (with no cylinder liners) was adopted. An onboard, timing gear driven vacuum pump replaced a previously alternator-driven vacuum pump (Later a gear-driven power steering pump would be added to the 3B, 14B and 15B platforms). Camshafts gained larger bearing journals and roller lifters replaced earlier solid lifters. Pushrod inspection galleries disappeared to make a more solid engine block. The flywheel changed from 6 to 8 bolts and a PCV hose replaced the road draft tube. Toyota does not make a distinction in the naming of these engines, but in user communities the August 1988-on 3B is referred to as the '3B-II'.

The 4B is a 3.7-litre inline-four eight-valve OHV diesel engine of the swirl chamber type. The 4B was only sold on the Japanese domestic market. The 4B was released in 1999 at the time that production of the 3B ceased. Unusually, the indirect injection 4B was released considerably later than the equivalent direct injection 14B engine, which was released in 1988.

The 13B is a direct injection version of the 3B engine. Output for 1985 versions is 100 PS (74 kW) and 24.0 kg⋅m (235 N⋅m; 174 lb⋅ft). [2]

13B-T

The 13B-T is a turbocharged version of the 13B engine, with a compression ratio of 17.6:1. Output is 120 hp (89 kW) at 3,400 rpm with 159 ft·lbf (217 N·m) of torque at 2,200 rpm. The later "LASRE" version has 130 PS (96 kW) at 3,400 rpm and 30.0 kg⋅m (294 N⋅m; 217 lb⋅ft) at 2,000 rpm. [2]

The 13B did not receive the full suite of improvements in August 1988 that the B, 3B and 11B received. At this time, the 13B received an 8 bolt flywheel and larger camshaft, but retained cylinder liners and pushrod inspection galleries. All versions of the 13B/13B-T came with in-line injection pumps. Production of the 13B/13B-T ended in 1989.

The 14B is a 3.7 L (3661 cc) inline-four eight-valve OHV direct injection diesel engine. [3] Compression ratio is 18:1. Output is 98 hp (72 kW) at 3,400 rpm with 177 lb·fts (240 N·m) of torque at 1,800 rpm. The 14B was launched in 1988 at the same time as the updated B, 3B and 11B. Unlike the 11B and 13B engines, the 14B did not evolve from an earlier indirect-injection engine. All 14B engines have rotary diesel injection pumps.

Applications

15B-T

The 15B-T was supplied only to the Japanese Armed Forces. Based on a 14B-T, it is presumed to be bored out to a 4.1 L (4104 cc) inline 4 cylinder, eight valve, OHV, direct (mechanical) injection, intercooled, turbocharged diesel engine. It was found in the earliest versions of the BXD-10 Megacruiser before the 1995 release of the 15B-FT. Visually it is nearly identical to the 14B-T but can be distinguished by having no external piston-cooling oil nozzles as found on the 3Bii, 14B and 14B-T versions of the engine block. Both '3B' and '14B' castings are machined off the engine block replaced by a simple '15B' stamp, and a separate '15' casting behind the diesel injection pump. The 15B-T is the only 15B engine to have a Toyota CT26 turbocharger.

15B-F

The 15B-F is a 4.1 L (4104 cc) inline 4 cylinder, sixteen valve, OHV, direct injection diesel engine. Bore is 108 mm and stroke is 112 mm. Output is 86 kW (115 hp) at 3,200 rpm and 290 N⋅m (214 ft⋅lbf) of torque at 2,000 rpm.

Applications

15B-FTE

The 15B-FTE is a 4.1 L (4104 cc) inline 4 cylinder, sixteen valve, OHV, electronic direct injection, turbo, intercooled diesel engine. Bore is 108 mm and stroke is 112 mm, with a compression ratio of 17.8:1. Output is 114 kW (153 hp) at 3,200 rpm with 382 N⋅m (282 ft⋅lbf) of torque at 1,800 rpm.
