Toyota did do it for diesel engines. They use one in the craftman truck series.

Good to know.. what a mess of ownership though.

[|DRC| Marblecake]

Remember kids Isuzu is the one who made the duramax for chevy and gmc. Awesome motor other then the oem injectors.

actually my favorite cars are from Lamborghini which is part of VW but THIS car is special!!
problem is owning the car won't be enough. the wastage of the tires and gas is going to be enormous
