I don't know how much intake area there already is, so I don't know how much extra area is needed; (do you have one to measure?)
These are just some
ideas and may not be feasible.
I have the CARF Viperjet and marvel at the lightness and strength. Gotta be an EDF option on this one, somehow....

I’m sure Daniel gives an inlet area on his website, on the CARF Hawk I was worried it would be a little on the small size so I opened up all the ducts, put slots in the inlet splitters, knew the nose doors were open at take off etc. I’m sure you can find away if you want it EDF. With the inlet duct fitted to the fan it smooths out any air just before it gets to the fan
