Can anyone tell me the difference between a Vans airbox for a carb, and a Vans airbox for the Ellison TBI.
I've only noticed these items in Vans "store". As I have a Rotec TBI fitted on my 0-235 9a, I'm very interested to know more about it.
I was thinking of modifying an airbox and testing, and that's why I was in the store checking price etc for another box for the project. Burt seeing they already do an airbox for the TBI, it will save my time.

Thanks for any info you can give.

Bob,
I used the airbox from Van's with an Ellison on my -3. It looks identical to the one for a carb. I believe the only difference is the bolt spacing and the height.
I understand the Rotec does not like ram air and sucks from inside the cowl ?

Thanks for that info Mike.

I have never heard of the Rotec not liking ram air. Have you anymore info on this?
