Crx retro fitting

Dragonsfire-
Not sure the extent of your retrofit, but my old thread for retrofitting the CRX/EF with the TRS090 134a compressor from the 94-up civics will allow you to completely convert the system to 134a and have a more reliable compressor built and designed for 134a along with Pag oil. For some reason it's not letting me paste the thread link here, but if you search for "94 Sanden AC Compressor in CRX" you'll be able to pull it up. Ironically, although I initiated this design I never attempted to charge the system until this past week (yes over 3 years) user "James89DX" put together at least 3 of them in the Dallas area with very good results. I don't think he's been on in quite a while though. I think he filled his systems with 28oz because it calls for 5-10% less R134a than R12. Please check all of that before you attempt.
