Performance Air Filter for Renault & Dacia Duster, Logan & Sandero 1.5 dCi (2010-2018)

High-Efficiency Induction Upgrade for the Renault 1.5L DCI K9K Engine

Who It’s For: Engineered for Renault Duster, Logan, and Sandero owners running the legendary K9K 1.5L turbo-diesel powerplant who want to eliminate intake restriction and improve turbo spool.

The Symptom: The factory intake on the Renault K9K engine is built around a thick, disposable paper element designed for cost-savings rather than performance. This dense paper creates a significant pressure drop across the airbox, forcing the turbocharger to work harder to pull in the necessary oxygen for combustion.

In a vehicle like the Duster, which deals with significant aerodynamic drag, or a Logan loaded with gear, this translates to sluggish throttle response and a noticeable delay in torque delivery when you step on the pedal.

The Engineering Fix: This BMC performance filter replaces the restrictive factory paper with multi-layered cotton gauze, saturated in a low-viscosity oil. This "wet" filtration technology allows for a significantly higher volume of air to pass through while catching impurities as small as 7 microns—vastly superior to the 10-micron limit of the OEM filter.

By smoothing out the airflow and increasing the air density entering the compressor housing, we reduce the pumping losses of the engine, allowing the K9K to breathe naturally and react faster to driver input.

Why Mechanics Choose This Kit

• Enhanced Turbo Efficiency: By reducing intake resistance, the turbocharger reaches target boost pressure earlier in the RPM range, providing more immediate low-end torque.
• Superior Filtration: BMC’s multi-layer cotton technology captures finer particulates than paper, protecting your engine’s internals in dusty or harsh environments.
• Full Moulding Construction: Unlike cheaper filters that use glued components, BMC uses a single-mould process that eliminates welded joints, preventing air leaks or structural failure over time.
