Toyota 1C-TL specs: 1.8L (112 ci) 4-cylinder, 83 x 85 mm (3.2677 x 3.3465 in) bore and stroke, 23:1 compression. Built 1984–1985. Used in the Toyota Camry.
The Toyota 1C-TL is close to square: 3.2677" bore against 3.3465" stroke, within 2.4%, which splits the difference between a high-revving layout and a torque layout. The 3.3465" stroke does not reach 4,000 ft/min of mean piston speed until about 7,150 RPM, so piston speed is not what limits this engine's revs — valvetrain and breathing are. Each of the 4 cylinders displaces 28.0 ci (459 cc).
At 23:1 this is a compression-ignition engine: the ratio is the heat source that lights the fuel, not a knock limit to be managed.
It is one of 2 engines in the Toyota 112ci family, all of them 112 ci — the differences between them are in compression, heads and rating, not displacement. 2 factory variants share these dimensions across 1984–1985.

| Bore/stroke ratio | 0.976 |
* Compression ratio from a single source; not yet cross-verified.
| Fuel type | diesel |
|---|---|
| Years | 1984–1985 |
| Bore/stroke character | 0.976 — square — bore and stroke are within 5%, a balanced compromise |
|---|---|
| Mean piston speed at 6,000 RPM | 3,347 ft/min — conservative for a street engine |
| Displacement per cylinder | 28.0 ci |
| Static compression | 23:1 — high enough that pump premium or better is normally required |
