Abstract
Indonesia^s energy needs will continue to increase, especially in terms of gas fuel. To support this, the government is trying to use a converter kit to convert the engine into gas fuel. The existing converter kit uses a mechanical system, to improve the converter kit capability, an electrically based converter kit is developed. To find out the improvement in the ability of the electrically based converter kit, a test was carried out using 3 pairs of engines paired with 3 types of mechanical converter kits and an electrical converter kit. Each engine tested for 50 hours of endurance tests and also performance tests before and after the endurance test. The three engines which is use electrically controlled converter kit showed increased performance. This type of converter kit also provides additional safety, which is when the engine is off the gas will not flow out.
