There also was a limited run of 2.6 ltr ISUZU motors that only came out in the RE CALAIS. These awesome powerplants are extremely rare and have a back breaking 140nm tourque and a neck snapping 43rwkw. If you are lucky enough to find one of these rare examples theyre worth a look... *may not be enirely accurate*
