Easiest Eventuri Filter Replacement Procedure?

[Mal-lotus]

What's the easiest way to replace the filter in the Eventuri?

My understanding is you don’t replace the filter you’re supposed to be using the cleaning kit to basically wash out the filter and reuse it as it’s reusable, but not sure up till when mileage wise.

That does mean you’ll have to take the intake out, but that also would’ve been the case for the normal original OEM intake for replacement

It's a dry filter that can be cleaned and reused. @GRP sells the cleaner kit.

I meant to ask what's the easiest path to getting the filter in and out of the car?

Least things to remove, that sort of thing. The eventuri was already installed in the car so I'm not familiar with it.

Oh I see. Mine needs to be cleaned, so I'll do it later this afternoon and take some pictures for you. I've had it for almost a year, and this will be the first time I've opened it up to clean it. Should be interesting to see.

I posted the procedure in my project thread:

📓 Journals - Adding Lightness

Just got the Mega Matt and Ill be installing when I get my fabricator to extend the Aerie tips. Hoepfully removes the boominess on the higyway and reduces trunck temps. Mind you the mega matt isnt light. Thanks for all your input. Make sure you have the high temp foil insulation tape, to tape...

For your situation where you didn't install it in the first place, go to their website https://www.eventuri.net/products/lotus-emira-v6/ and download the installation guide.

Here's what it looks like out of the car fully assembled and the way it will be oriented when in the car.

To remove the unit, there are 2 bolts on the top bracket to remove. The nuts behind them are welded to the bracket, so you only have to remove the bolts but HANG ONTO them as you remove them so they don't fall down into the abyss below.

Squeeze the top of the MAF plug and the plug will pop out. It removes easily so there's no need to pry.

Loosen the band clamps on each end of the connecting tube, but you won't need to pull the breather hose shown by the green arrow. You can just swivel the tube up and out of the way with the breather hose connected. When pulling the ends of the connecting tube from the supercharger inlet and the Eventuri, HANG ONTO the band clamps so they don't fall down.

Depending on how the unit was installed originally, there should be all or some of the clips circled in red on the picture below that need to be slid up and off the tabs they're on.

Next push the 3 rubber hoses down and out of the loom on the bottom of the Eventuri, and lift the battery cable up and over the end to clear the loom. You don't need to unbolt the loom.

Now you can carefully rotate and lift the Eventuri up and out of the engine bay. Reinstallation is the opposite of the above. I've put the full disassembly and filter cleaning procedure in my project thread Adding Lightness.
