I have somewhat of a silly question about the future of A/C conversion. I was doing some light reading and found that there is currently a phaseout for r-134 to r-1234 which started in 2012. Even though the current phaseout is not as tough as it was with r-12 to r-134 it seems like in about 10 years r-1234 will take the place of r-134. I was wondering if anyone has ever considered designing a r-1234 compatible system or conversion for any of the old explorer models. As of right now I have not completed the r-134 conversion on my vehicle, and it would really grind my gears to spend all of the time and money into an r-134 conversion just to have to do it again when r-134 becomes more regulated a few years down the road. One problem with the traditional o-ring replacement method is the higher pressures required for an equally effective r-1234 system. It might seem like an out-of-scope question, but it would be nice to have input from anyone who would have a better idea than I about A/C systems.
