Trying to figure out what system is in my 96 Cx. Can you tell by looking at the componets? What would you look for? Part numbers?

Say you were buying a 88 hatch that *supposedly* had the r134a conversion. How would you verify this?

Anyhow, what year did the conversion start?

I've searched and found one thread on the conversion. Nothing related to what I am asking though....

Thanks!

93 is last yr made with r12... all 94+ should be r134a... thats what i was told.. and my 93 civic was r12.. i was told to convert it to r134a... just go to junk and pick one up..

94+ used R134a, but you probably already know that... Don't the R-12 and R-134a Lo and Hi pressure ports different sizes?

Yes the pressure ports are different sizes you can buy a conversion kit that comes with everthing you need to change over go get your system evacuated first at a shop then do your worst. 93's do have R-12 refrigerant maybe the last year.
