- Wed Apr 07, 2010 8:24 pm #186137 Hi i have an eg9 imported from japan. I live in the USA and i would like to recharge the ac system. My question is the system r12 or r 134. the car is a 93. I believe in the USA the 92-93 were r12 and the 94-95 were r134, not sure if its the same over sea's . Is there anywhere on the vehicle i could check? Sorry I'm new to ac i usually just tear them out lol. Thanks

but you can check the rubber hoses and they should say r134a if they are
but since u have a eg9 and its rare as fuk in the usa, id take it to a shop and do it the rite way unless u have a set of gauges and know the specs that shit from autozone or ur local auto store can acutally fuk the ac system up

or if its a quick release screwed on, then u have r134a that was retrofitted from r12
