Great explanation by picankoch.. However, the best way is still to go and view the actual setup and u may direct your question at the installer.. And of coz.. Seeing is not believing.. Test ride is believing..

Hi all, here is my review of RISK half setup.. As we know, stock airbox is good for low end, while open pod is good for high revs.. RISK allows you to enjoy the benefits of low end, yet the high reving part of open pod.. I'm driving an auto pica FYI.. I shall divide this review into 2 parts, pickup and highway cruise. Pickup:Experience improvement in all rpms bands.. The rpm band that I commonly used is 1 - 4rpm.. Seldom use 4 - 6 but that's where most of the power comes in.. You will realise that it's easier to hit 80km/hr as compared to before.. All you need to do is to observe your speedo.. You will realise the speedo climbs faster. If you compare the feeling before and after RISK, you probably will realise that with the same amount of throttle pressed, the power delivery is different. For me, I will rev to 3 - 4 rpm for the 2nd and 3rd gear. There's when overtaking is done.. And RISK allows you to rev easily. You can easily rev up to 5 rpm if you want. Stock airbox won't allow you to do that easily coz by the time the tachometer reaches 4rpm, it's already out of breath. Cruising:The throttle is more responsive, meaning, when you tap, the power comes in instantly. This is beneficial coz alot of autos will tap and release while cruising.. You will also realise for the same amount of throttle pressed, your speed will be higher. For eg, I used to cruise at 100km/hr for about 20% throttle. But now for the same amount of throttle applied, I'm now cruising at 110km/hr.. Final verdict:Personally, I think this is an effective mod.. I'm not earning anything for posting this feedback and not to advertise RISK. Just to share my thoughts about this mod. It will be best to attend meetups to take a look at it. And then try it to see how it feels. In fact, you don't have to take a test drive to feel the difference. You just have to take a joyride and straight away you'll know the difference. In fact, for the first time ever, I'm been questioned on how come the car seems slightly faster by my wife. My response: I put additives in the petrol.

Hi, to all who are using the simota fan, do u realise that when you release your accelerator, your speedo drops slower compared to before? Meaning to say, for eg, your speed is 70km/hr. You release your pdeal. The time taken for the speed to drop to 50km/hr is longer compared to before installation of the simota fan..

Bro Picanyeo, this means u save on petrol even u did not step on accelerator! Isn't tis great?

Yup.. I tried a few more times of free rolling and realized that this symtom appears more on 40km/hr to 0km/hr.. Maybe 70km/hr it isn't so obvious. Apologise for posting wrong info in my previous post.
I realized that when I release my accelerator at 40km/hr, my car can roll a longer distance because the speedo takes longer to drop to 0km/hr.. Quite useful if you are moving in slow traffic. Will update my FC later on, but so far, I don't see any obvious difference in my mileage..

Hi, just to check. Does the full setup requires any drilling of holes on the body or anything? May I know the difference between the two? The reviews of RISK is making me very tempted! Hi, Half setup needs to use back your stock air intake inlet. Half setup is w/o air scoop, air funnel & air hose connecting to air funnel. Which also means full setup has air scoop = drill holes for funnel & screw. Power of half setup is only max 3/4 of full setup. Low end not as powerful as full setup. Feel free to meet us 5pm today at Yishun 296A MSCP. Either we r at e washing bay of top deck.

Hi picawhite, you are the latest addition to the autos with risk.. How's your ride? My 2nd day with RISK. Response is definely quicker, power come in early compare to previous setup. when u let go accer, it;s really can cruise for quite some time. Can hear the pss... pss.. sound at time. is this normal?

I think the cruising effect is due to the simota fan which keep feeding in air even though the accelerator is released.
I sat in bro cliuc's auto pica and also can hear the pss sound, but don't know why for mine, I didn't hear it.. Hav to listen carefully then can hear.. If windows is winded up, the I don't hear anything. Perhaps there's some rattling noises in my pica that's why I couldn't hear the pss sound..

Hi everyone, I spoke to one of my frd driving an auto pica yesterday about using the power in 3rd gear to overtake vehicles on daily driving. I think alot of auto pica bros know about this. Don't mind I say again hor? This is also for the autos who are taking RISK as they will benefit from it. If you maintain your throttle, for eg 20% throughout the gears, you will realise at 3rd gear, there will be a slight rpm drop somewhere around 2.5rpm. It will drop to ard 2.2rpm before it rises up again. If there is no throttle changes, the gear will shift up to gear 4 upon reaching 2.5rpm. Here it goes.. Gear 3 -----> 2.5rpm ----> 2.2rpm -----> 2.5rpm -----> Gear 4 As the rpm drops to 2.2rpm, if you increased the throttle position to 50% or more, you realise that the rpm doesn't stop at 2.5rpm.. It can go up to 3rpm, which brings your speed to 80km/hr, or 4rpm which will give you 100km/hr, all at 3rd gear.. But the key thing is not about the speed.. Why should you push 3rd gear so much when 4th gear can help you conserve petrol? The impt point is that the power after the rpm drop is different. When you push the throttle, you realise the power delivery is different from other gears. It has more torque in it, just feel it.. So how to benefit from this during overtaking? For eg. Gear 4(60km/hr, 2.3rpm) ----> Drop gear to 3rd (Push down pedal quickly, more than 30%) ----> Control accelerator to maintain in 3rd gear----> Overtaking done -----> Maintain pressure or reduce pressure accelerator to up shift to 4th gear.. Make use of RISK to push the 3rd gear and you will enjoy your ride more..

for mine, in gentle rev up, it will go to abt 2.5k rpm and change from gear 1 to 4, drop in rpm is during gear change. how come your is before gear change?
Gear 3 -----> 2.5rpm ----> Gear 4 ----> 2.2rpm and rev to speed up.

Hmm.. I'm not refering to the drop in rpm during gear change.. 3rd gear can be dragged longer compared to gear 2.. You try driving and observe the rpm closely.. It only happens in 3rd gear..
In addition, there is a slight change in engine noise..
