The AutoTecknic dry carbon cooling plate improves the intake efficiency of the G20 330i or M340i, directing cooled air into the intake and engine during high-speed driving. Improvements in fuel efficiency and power gains have also been reported.
The name "dry carbon fiber" is derived from its manufacturing process. Dry carbon fiber is formed using "pre-preg" or impregnated carbon material pieces. These carbon pieces are first placed into a mold and then properly cured in a sealed vacuum vessel (autoclave). This method results in the fewest impurities and produces carbon that is lighter than that made using the "wet" process. The vacuum drying process in the autoclave reduces pinholes in the carbon and results in almost no air bubbles. Dry carbon is the highest quality carbon fiber product manufactured.
This cooling plate is not only functional but also enhances the overall appearance of your engine bay with the beauty of carbon fiber.
Before Ordering
〇 Regarding Import Consumption Tax
At the Shaftoya shopping site, we pay the import consumption tax incurred at the time of import on your behalf, so there are no additional charges beyond the total amount paid at checkout.
〇Checking Compatibility
Since our entire product database is based on North American specification (USDM) vehicles, please confirm whether the item can be installed on a Japanese specification (JDM) vehicle before placing your order. (Please feel free to contact us if you are unsure whether a listed product is compatible with your vehicle. Our support team will be happy to check for you.)
If you place an order without confirming compatibility, we cannot accept returns due to incompatibility.
Please note that even if products are sorted by selecting the year, manufacturer, and vehicle model via the tabs on our homepage, it does not necessarily mean they will fit Japanese model vehicles without modification.
All products have been translated into Japanese using translation software. As there may be confusing expressions, please contact us before ordering if you have any questions.
○ Regarding Shipping
Shipping costs are paid at the time of checkout. Estimates for shipping costs are calculated automatically when you enter your shipping address on the checkout page. For large items such as body parts, there are rare cases where there is a significant discrepancy between the automatically calculated shipping cost and the actual shipping cost. In such cases, we will contact you individually via email.
Basically, all products are shipped internationally from our U.S. warehouse. Unlike domestic shipping within Japan, international shipping takes about 7 to 14 days, so please place your order with sufficient time. If you are in a hurry, please contact us in advance to confirm the delivery date. All products are transported via air freight. They are never shipped by sea freight.
○ Regarding Compliance with Japanese Vehicle Inspections (Shaken)
All products handled by our company are designed and manufactured outside of Japan. Please note that they are not compliant with the "Japanese vehicle inspection system" (Shaken), and we cannot provide strength calculation documents or similar paperwork for the Japanese inspection system. Therefore, all parts are sold for the purpose of "use on circuits, private land, or off-road," and installation and use are at your own risk.
○ Regarding Warranty
Please check the contents of your order immediately upon arrival. Since all products are shipped internationally from outside Japan, there may be shipping damage to the packaging box or the product itself. Please understand that for items with shipping damage, defective products, or products different from what was ordered, we will only handle returns, refunds, or exchanges if notified within 7 days of receipt. Furthermore, regarding products sold through our company, all warranty-related support will be handled "exclusively through our company." Please note that we do not coordinate with other companies or agencies located within Japan.
