Rare JDM Parts...OEM EG6 P30 Airbox
I've had my eye on these for some time. Being bored with the oversized pod filter & velocity stack banging around in my engine bay, I finally took the plunge and ordered them up. I figured I would share with everyone some interesting facts on my brand new OEM P30 EG6 Airbox. The part numbers are 17210-P30-000 for the lid, and 17240-P30-000 for the lower half.
The lid actually came from the US distribution and was only ever used on the 94-95 Del Sol VTEC. 96-97 Del Sol VTEC used the standard P07 airbox lid. I was told when ordering, this was the last one available in the US distribution network.
The major difference in the P30 lid over the P07 lid is the curved/radiused edges leading into the air tube, as well as the notched top corner of the square top. Standard P07 lid has sharp edges leading into the air tube.
The lower half of the P30 airbox was never sold in the States. It was only used on the EG6 SiR models in Japan (as far as I'm aware). The only difference between it and the P07 or P08 lower halves is this insulation blanket caged into the bottom. I'm guessing this feature was used to reduce the amount of engine bay heat getting absorbed by the incoming air. Kinda an odd unique feature if you ask me. I've seen this same insulation inside the EK9 Type-R airbox as well.
Close-up:
All the brand new OEM bits waiting to go in the car:
Installed and looking OEM. Now I just need to install the new valve cover hiding in a cabinet and cleanup the rest of the engine bay.
Hope someone finds this info usefull.
BTW: I had to order all 7 screws, 3 bushings & 3 bushing sleeves separately. Those bits are not included with the top or bottom of the airbox.

Re: Rare JDM Parts...OEM EG6 P30 Airbox
Thanks for sharing this! Where did you order the bottom half from? I am trying to figure out where the best place to buy OEM JDM parts is, or if it's even possible but looks like you have a way?

Re: Rare JDM Parts...OEM EG6 P30 Airbox
Twice the part has been discontinued in Japan and once they were able to fulfill the order.
You'll have to make sure you're ordering the correct part as their website will list anywhere from one to five different part numbers for the same part.

I use Amayama.com. They are great. Prices are cheaper than JP-CarParts too (also usually cheaper than USA online dealers). Only problem is you have to submit an inquiry, rather than simply load up a shopping cart & pay. That means there is a delay as they check with their local dealerships for parts availability. They usually get back within a day unless it's over the weekend. Use JP-Carparts to look up the JDM part #'s you need.
Their shipping prices are also okay unless you order a lot of things (or large things). The amazing thing is parts get to the US super fast. Usually less than 5 days. Also they arrived really well packed. Takes a long time to get down to the goods inside.

Re: Rare JDM Parts...OEM EG6 P30 Airbox
I use the SIRII airbox, I got it from hmotorsonline.com, I also use a k&n drop in, I believe its the same as the one above. The only difference I can see from the stock 93 si box is the tube and the inlet on the top half of the box are larger diameter than the stock si box
don't know if you can tell from the pic

Re: Rare JDM Parts...OEM EG6 P30 Airbox
This thread is $.
I have a B18C1 in my EH3 ('94 Civic Si w/ ABS) and the swap came with a generic air filter/intake that I found has been rubbing on my AC and ABS lines - not good!
Is there a stock air box & intake that will work well for this swap?
I tried asking in the Hybrid section and got nothing...

Re: Rare JDM Parts...OEM EG6 P30 Airbox
This air-box will work with ANY swap so long as you can come with a 3" intake tube that will connect the air-box to the throttle body. I know the B18C1 has a lower throttlebody than the B16 or B18C5. A 3" flex coupling like the one I'm using may offer enough angle to make it work.

There are a few options. If you'd like to retain a stock B18C1 setup , here's one option: ITR airbox holder in eg

Flex couplings from a turbo site good?

Re: Rare JDM Parts...OEM EG6 P30 Airbox
A cheap 3" 92-95 Civic intake cut/shortened should work perfectly. Yes a cheap silicone flex coupler will do since it doesn't have to hold boost. I got the ones shown above on e-bay for cheap in early 2015, but it looks like that seller is gone now.
