My chenowth 4lwd upgrades *Now Honda swap*

Offroad VW based vehicles have problems/insights all their own. Not to mention the knowledge gained in VW durability.

Killer build! I have a 4lwd as well! Previous owner did all kinds of hackery. Any way could I have the link to your photobucket album I want to see the pics with out the water mark. I like how you did your front shock towers, and the rear upper shock mounts are how I was thinking of doing mine. enjoyed reading this thread!

Hi, I would LOVE to know the part number of the ECU you're using. I've got a J35A4 in my 1970 Baja Bug, and I'm having issues with the ECU I have. I'm hitting the rev limiter way too early, and the tuners in San Diego can't tune the ECU that's in there now. I need to update it with something they can tune, but they don't know the model or part number of the ECU I need. I'm trying to find people with a J35A4 to send me a photo of the ECU they are using.

I have this ECU installed, but it's not working properly and can't accept a Hondata chip: ECU 37820-P8F-L51

Do you have one of these ECUs or something else? Where and who tuned it for you?
37820-P8F-A52
37820-P8F-A61 ZZ
37820-PGN-J52
37820-P8F-A51
37820-P8F-A61

37-08773 CPCX , 72-2730 , 13708773-101 Probably others I'm missing.
