SVX AC R134a conversion / recharge problem
subiemech85 replied to DavieGravy's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXyes, -23" of mercury I use a "lab model" 0211 gast rotary vane lubricated pump, which is rated for -20" basically use the Pressure and Boiling Points of Water chart to see how low you must go, basically do the best you can it's been a few years since I went to school for AC

86 gl with "mystery" carb?
it must be regional, as when I need SUBARU parts I usually go directly to the NAPA warehouse store However, when it comes to gaskets, I go directly to the CARQUEST warehouse store But, belts and hoses are pruchased from Advance Auto after going through the DAYCO catalog 99% of filters are ordered through AutohausAZ, seems like nobody else wants to handle NIPPON, MANN, FULL, SANKEI, DENSO filters AND HELLA bulbs I actually started buying from them due to their extensive range of VW parts

SVX AC R134a conversion / recharge problem
subiemech85 replied to DavieGravy's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXfrom the reading of your description: YOU DID NOT CONVERT TO 134a YOU RUINED GOOD R12 EXPECT PROBLEMS converting to 134a is more than just installing port adapters the oil is most likely not compatible with the 134a pressure is relative to temperature for good basic reference: http://www.celicatech.com/imagearchive/bgbonline/94_6gmanual/ac_system_general_servicing.pdf for pressure and temp charts, etc. http://www.chillers.com/PT%20charts%20for%20refrigerants.htm my '96 SVX with FACTORY 134a system works fine after I repaired it. since the system was down to "no" pressure 1. use vacuum pump to hold vacuum at -23 for 10 minutes 2. with pump off, see if pressure goes to atsmospheric 3. if not, add 1 can of 134a. 4. if leaks are found, STOP and FIX the LEAK, most likely at the compressor head the o-rings go bad, then go to step 1. 5. continue filling, using the gauge set to see how the system is doing
