My appologies to bring up an old thread but was just a little curious about an engine, specifically the Toyota 3C-TE Diesel engine.
Did'nt want to start up a new thread hence reviving an old one as its related.
Most of the diesel swaps i have come accross have been Toyota engines. The last one was a Honda Civic old gen(not available here, probably bought from an embassy)has a Toyota diesel in it.
Then another guy told me a Corolla current gen was replace with a 3C-TE engine aswell as a MS Gypsy.
The Corolla has been running for 3 years with that engine and the Gypsy for more than a year and both delivering phenominal mileage figures like 22-25kmpl in the city with A/C which was too good to be true but nevertheless i pressume FE figures are around these numbers as most of the people quote such figures also previously posted by a fellow member so i can believe it to an extent.
I Googled up a search and found a variant of the 3C-TE series engines which is a 2.2L Turbo-charged version making 101BHP @ 4200RPMs. I am not too sure about the figures, they were listed on a website.
This engine mainly was used on a mini-van named Toyota Estima. But is widely used for swaps.
Unfortunately have not yet met a direct user of these swapped engines to get a first hand information and check out the cars themselves. The Civic's engine was looking in a very good condition and whoever installed it did a neat job as nothing looked "juggard" to me.
Anybody has any information related to this engine including tech specs and related info.
I know that in Delhi these works are carried out in Mayapuri area(famous for old engines and parts) and the guy who fit the Gypsy with a Toyota engine quoted 20K for the Toyota Engine including its overhaulling and refurbishing and 10K for his old Gypsy engine which covered the labour cost.
The registration can be done outside Delhi but
IF i ever get the engine swapped in an Ikon then my RC has the last 7 digits of the chasis number as the engine number. All cars (atleast most of the ones i have seen) have a separate engine and chasis number but i could'nt find the engine number on the Ikon and neither could the insurance guys so the RC states the last 7 digits as the chasis number as the engine number. If not anybody else atleast the cops wont get to know, if i put a ROCAM/ENDURA logo on the head-cover he could compare it with another Ikon.
But i have no clue if these engine swapped cars can be insured and how can one pass PUC for an unregistered diesel car with previously a petrol engine ?
All things done but
how does one get the ECU/ECM? Does it come with the engine.
I had managed to search through websites and came across a site where OBD error codes for the 3C-TE engine were listed but lost the site.
Waiting for your inputs guys!
