The aim of this research is to develop an Engine Control Module (ECM) manipulator module of motorcycle engine, to produce higher power and torque than standard one.An Oxygen sensor of narrow band type was used to detect the oxygen in the exhaust manifold.The narrow band type of oxygen sensor is used to maintain the air fuel ratio (AFR) at certain number closed to stoichiometry condition.The manipulator was located in between oxygen sensor and ECM.The manipulator is made based on Arduino Nano microcontroller.Two source codes were developed.The first source code maintained the combustion in richer condition (manipulator I).The second source code maintained the combustion in weaker condition (manipulator II).The power and torque parameters of the test engine was evaluated by using the dynamometer test.The emission test was carried out to evaluate the emission's level.The results showed that the manipulators developed in this work increased the power and torque of the test engine.By applying the manipulators the ECM maintains the AFR at the value of 14.2:1.An ECM manipulator module based on Arduino was successfully developed in this work.The rise of the power and the torque was due to the rise number of the fuel injected to the combustion chamber as indicated by the rise of the CO and HC.The emission levels were still under the allowable values.
