The Influence of Programmable Engine Control Unit (ECU) on the Performance of the Honda CB150R Engine

Abstract

At present, the electronic system in motorcycles has undergone development, namely the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) system. This research aims to find the results of a comparison between the standard ECU and the Programmable ECU. With the use of a Programmable ECU, engine performance can be enhanced. This study compares two types of motorcycle ECUs: the standard ECU and the Programmable ECU, using pertalite fuel. The ECU used is the BRT Juken5 Programmable ECU. In this research, the performance of the Honda CB150R engine with a Programmable ECU showed an increase in power by 12.00% HP and an increase in torque by 5.21% Nm.
