as above, i have an ea and the intake is part of the plastic shround covering the fan, radiator etc (moulded on to the plastic)
how do i remove it so that i can put a bigger snorkel on? i was thinking sanding it down but that will take forever by hand, cutting it with a saw would leave uneven lines, and then i thought maybe melt it off with a soldering iron but mmm nah i tried that on my door and long story short my door looks f**k as.. any advice?

I use a 4 inch grinder with diamond cutting wheel to occasionally cut plastics. Then just use a fine file to clean it up. And yes, I know the plastic melts but if you're careful it works fine.
Otherwise, as naughtyfalcon said, use a hacksaw.

Get rid of the clutch fan all together, turf the fan shroud, obtain EF-EL thermo fans and wiring kit from a performance shop. That will solve the chunky fan shroud problem and will give you a truckload more engine response and a slight increase in power. Then think about EF-AU dual plane manifold and airbox.
But if all this is too complex, i suggest what has been suggested, an angle grinder haha. |

ive already got an ef box, i have got the hole to the bbm fiberglassed up, i am running the TB piping into the existing hole that the ef snorkel originally went into, i have cut a hole to fit an xh snorkel in
i just need to buy some 3 inch piping tmorrow so that i can mount the pod on an angle that will fit in the box, and cut another 3 inch hole in the bottom or side so i can run more 3" piping to suck in more air most likely from under the car. i will pursue the thermo fan idea otherwise saw it off and file it back

I chopped up my old airbox and grafted it to a battery box bottom using mostly an angle grinder.. works fine.

hack saw with fine teeth.. then use sanpaper to smoothen out the rough cut... to give that "Factory" look....

You can probably replace the whole shroud with that off
EB2 which has the seperate intake. |
