i dotn know if s14 is r13 or r134a but you get a couple of cans with a punch out top on them and then the gauge extension that measures how full the system is (turn the A/C on to full blast and on recirculate) while you put the freon in hook it up to your A/C. The Gauge should screw down on the pop top of the freon can you screw it down until it shows that it is pumping then you unscrew it a little ways so the flow of the freon increases into the system you can control the flow with the little twist system on most gauges. Usually I have two people do this most gauges arent trust worthy so I have someone sit in the car and tell me if they are getting cold air in the system. That way I can judge if I should put more in or not.

Hey thanks for reply, but where do i insert the freon charge can? I read the label from the charge kit and it say charge from low pressure side. but where is the low pressure side?

Your compressor has two lines coming out of it. One goes to the condensor(by the radiator) this is your high side line. the other goes to your evaporator, this is your low side line. The service ports on your car will only accept your charge fitting(low side fitting) on the low side service port.
