Performance Air Filter for Acura NSX (2017-2020) with 3.5L Engine

Unleash the JNC1: High-Flow BMC Performance Filtration for the Acura NSX

Who It’s For: Engineered for 2017–2020 Acura NSX owners running the JNC1 Twin-Turbocharged V6 powerplant who are tired of the stock airbox choking their induction potential.

The Symptom: The factory intake system on the JNC1 engine is hampered by restrictive, disposable paper filters designed for generic service intervals rather than maximum volumetric efficiency. These OEM filters create a significant pressure drop across the intake tract, forcing the twin turbochargers to work harder (increasing wastegate duty cycle) to achieve target boost levels. This results in increased intake air temperatures (IATs) and a dampened throttle response that fails to match the NSX’s supercar pedigree.

The Engineering Fix: This BMC system replaces those restrictive paper elements with a multi-layered cotton gauze media soaked in low-viscosity oil and reinforced by an epoxy-coated alloy mesh. By utilizing "Full Moulding" technology, the filter is created from a single mold with no welded joints, ensuring the structural integrity required to withstand the high-suction environment of a twin-turbocharged 3.5L engine. This design optimizes fluid dynamics, straightening the airflow path and allowing for a higher density of oxygen to reach the combustion chamber, which sharpens throttle snap and improves turbo spool-up time.

Why Mechanics Choose This Kit

• Optimized Boost Efficiency: By reducing intake restriction, the JNC1 turbos can breathe more freely, allowing for a more efficient power curve across the entire 573 HP range.
• Aerospace-Grade Filtration: While OEM filters stop at 10 microns, BMC’s advanced media captures impurities as small as 7 microns without sacrificing flow velocity.
• Lifetime Durability: Constructed with epoxy-coated mesh and washable cotton, this filter eliminates the need for future replacements; simply clean and regenerate to maintain peak performance.
