I've done this on a Suzuki sx4 with no a/c before

^I'm switching my system over to R134a. It's setup for R12. I'll double check everything once the o-rings get here to compare with the kit I bought off a forum member.

2) My AC used to cycle on and off. For over a decade. "That is just the way it is designed." Bah! Apparently the AC is designed to cool your ass off whenever it decides you need cold air. However, a 3-peice UR pulley set made the "cycling" go away. Now it just blows cold as long as I have it cranked. No more cycling.
Here's why:
Dammit. Cannot connect to the other SR20 Forum. There is a thread, started by me, under the Technical Section. It has a bunch of random questions. In it, I ask about the better AC performance, and mechanically adept folks tell me why the AC is working better.

^I'll be running a KOYO, slim fans, and a 4 piece pulley set.
^I just noticed the old forum is not working for me either
