I recently joined the SubaruVanagon Yahoo Group to get specific info on doing my '84 'Westy' conversion. I just read the following post about air conditioning systems and refrigerants:
"A subie conversion buddy turned me onto this refrigerant, Eco-Safe 12a, alot better the R134 which really doesn't get all that cold. Apparently molecularly the R134 is so different than the old R12 our systems are designed for, that R134 won't get cold enough to be effective. This Eco-Safe 12a will get very cold and the ratio of replacement is 6oz of ES-12a = 16oz of R134." Sounds good. Anybody here have any real world experience with this gas? http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/subaruv...rsations/topics |

Virgin r12 is superior to these blend refrigerants. You can't just drop in this refrigerant unless the car has a fixed metering device. Most modern cars don't, they have a h block or txv valves. The sensing bulb on these modulating expansion valves use 134a which will have a different temp glide than r12.
