1jz R134a Compressor from SC300

[Eldaveo]

Hi all,
I've got a 1jz Mk3 supra (Jza70) and the compressor is cactus (leaking out the front seal).

The car was originally R12 but you can't get that where I live anymore so I need R134a regardless.

What I want to know is: if I purchase a later model compressor from say an SC300 (made for R134a), can I just swap the top plate/lines from my old compressor? or will they be different sizes or just not fit..

Any advice much appreciated

You can use any 1jz or 2jz compressor and swap the top plate. you can also run r134 in a r12 compressor no problem. just swap out the fitting and vacuum the system really good. your supposed to use a different oil as well. ive always just used whats available which is the r134 oil and its always worked perfect.
