Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of using a Power Up device on the engine performance of a Honda PCX 160cc motorcycle using Pertamax fuel (RON 92). The research is driven by the increasing demand among motorcycle users for efficient performance enhancements without resorting to extreme mechanical modifications. The methodology employed is a quantitative experimental approach utilizing Chassis Dynamometer (Dynotest) testing to measure three key variables: Torque, Power, and Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC).The results indicate that the installation of the Power Up device significantly impacts all testing parameters. In terms of Torque, there is a notable increase, particularly at low to mid-range RPMs, resulting from a larger and more stable spark from the spark plug. Regarding Power, an optimal increase in horsepower was recorded at high RPMs, contributing to better acceleration and top speed in accordance with the thermal efficiency principles of the Otto Cycle. Furthermore, the SFC analysis revealed a decrease in specific fuel consumption, indicating that the combustion process has become more complete (complete combustion), thereby minimizing wasted fuel.In conclusion, the Power Up device is proven to be effective in enhancing performance and fuel efficiency for 160cc engines by optimizing the ignition system. These findings align with previous research and provide empirical data supporting electronic modifications as a practical solution for improving daily motorcycle performance. Future research is suggested to include exhaust emission testing and variations in higher-octane fuels to explore the maximum potential of the device.
