The European Currency Unit (₠ or ECU, or ; ) was a basket of the currencies of the European Community member states, used as the unit of account of the European Community before being replaced by the euro on 1 January 1999, at parity.

On 1 January 1999, the euro ( with the code EUR and symbol €) replaced the ECU, at the value € 1 = 1 ECU.

Also the Spark ditributor is replaced with ECU Controlled Spark Coils.

510 cc injectors were replaced with 560 cc injectors for better engine reliability due to more electrical " headroom " and the ECU was changed to include a flash ROM, allowing more boost pressure to the same TD05-HR as the Mitsubishi Evolution III and IV.

In March 1979, this system was replaced by the European Monetary System, and the European Currency Unit ( ECU ) was defined.

For the RB25DET engine the ignition system was also changed, with the ignition module no longer located on the cam covers and was instead replaced by smart ignition coils ( Ignitor built into coil ) and ECU.

No internal engine modifications are allowed short of rebuilding to factory " blue print " specifications, though the car's ECU may be modified or replaced with an aftermarket unit.

The European Exchange Rate Mechanism attempted to minimize fluctuations between member state currencies and the ECU.

The predecessor to the euro, the European Currency Unit ( ECU ), had the code XEU.

The International Canoe Federation ( ICF ), The European Canoe Union ( ECU ) and the British Canoe Union ( BCU ) all hold events in Llangollen.

Before the introduction of the euro, exchange rates were based on the European Currency Unit ( ECU ), the European unit of account, whose value was determined as a weighted average of the participating currencies.

At the following Council meeting in Bremen, Germany in June 1978 the basic features of the European Monetary System were outlined, including the creation of the ECU – European Currency Unit, a basket of the Community's currencies used to determine exchange rates, and the forerunner of the euro.

The European Ultramarathon Cup ( ECU ) is an annual series covering several of the biggest races in different European countries.

One driving force behind this is the increasing adoption of the engine Electronic Control Unit ( ECU ), which provides one method of controlling exhaust gas emissions within US and European standards.

While at the Central Bank in Belgium ( National Bank of Belgium ) he implemented the convergence mechanism ( ECU ) to the single European currency system.

He received the Deutscher Schachpreis ( German Chess Award ) of the German Chess Federation on two occasions ( 1983 / 2001 ) for his commitment to the sport of chess, as well as the Medal of the European Chess Union ( ECU ) and the Gold Merit Award of the World Chess Federation FIDE in 2002.

The fact that the coin's name was the same as ECU, the abbreviation of the European Currency Unit, may have assisted the ECU's adoption by France despite its being an acronym of English words.

The ECU was an internal accounting unit for the European Community until it was superseded by the Euro, an actual currency, in 2002.

Audi made a high-performance, 4. 2 litre V8 engine ( parts code prefix: 077, identification code: AEC ) with a Bosch KE-Motronic ECU available as an option in the original European S4s, and made the decision to continue to do so with the S6, making a version of the 4. 2 available as an optional upgrade over the 2. 2 litre inline five-cylinder turbo.

It satisfied the European Union EU3 emissions standard, and was managed by a Bosch Motronic ME 7. 0 electronic engine control unit ( ECU ) with manifold-sited sequential fuel injection, mapped direct ignition with eight individual spark coils, Bosch longlife spark plugs, four heated lambda sensors and two catalytic converters, cylinder-selective knock control and a Bosch " E-Gas " drive by wire throttle.

* A " Elastic Compute Unit " ( ECU ), measure of computer power specific to the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud

Larger injectors and remapped software in the Engine Control Unit ( ECU ) allow impressive power levels from, in the Aero model on E85 ethanol.

* Engine Control Unit ( ECU )— not to be confused with electronic control unit, the generic term for all these devices

The Haldex Electronic Control Unit ( ECU ) disengages the Haldex clutch in the centre coupling as soon as brakes are applied to allow ABS work properly.

As mentioned above some of the typical electronic modules on today's vehicles are the Engine Control Unit ( ECU ), the Transmission Control Unit ( TCU ), the Anti-lock Braking System ( ABS ) and body control modules ( BCM ).

The supercharger is engaged on-demand by an electromagnetic clutch, based on input from the engine management system computer ( the Engine Control Unit, or ECU ).

In a modern engine with an engine management system and direct ignition, the Engine Control Unit ( ECU ) takes care of the correct firing sequence.

Downshifting is similar to up-shifting but in reverse order, and is slower, at 600 milliseconds, due to the engine's Electronic Control Unit, or ECU, needing to ' blip ' the throttle, so that the engine crankshaft speed can match the appropriate gear shaft speed.

The Engine Control Unit ( ECU ) may be either analog or digital, and the system may or may not have closed-loop lambda control.

For instance, the S-2 Package-for the M5-modifies the OEM Air filtration system, air mass flow meters, independent throttle bodies, remapped ECU ( Electronic Control Unit ), exhaust headers, header-back exhaust system, VANOS MAPS, dual mass flywheel, differential, strut brace, and new wheels and tires.

The ECU was also used in some international financial transactions, where its advantage was that securities denominated in ECUs provided investors with the opportunity for foreign diversification without reliance on the currency of a single country.

Although the acronym ECU is formed from English words, écu is also the name of an ancient French coin.

Most new engines rely on electrical and electronic engine control units ( ECU ) that also adjust the combustion process to increase efficiency and reduce emissions.

ECU is also home to an Environmental Health Science Program, one of only 30 programs nationally accredited by the National Environmental Health Science and Protection Accreditation Council ( http :// www. ehacoffice. org /).

The sensitivity of the ECU controlled differential is also limited by the time delay caused by sensors and the response time of the actuators.

An improved intercooler, exhaust, and modified ECU were also included.

However, in many modern automatic transmissions, the valves are controlled by electro-mechanical servos which are controlled by the electronic engine control unit ( ECU ) or a separate transmission control unit ( TCU, also known as transmission control module ( TCM ).

In 1993, with the grant of BE, via the Phare programme, were claimed 1, 000, 000 ECU, for the furniture with raw material ( malt, hops ), packages ( bottles, cases ), and also exchanges for the brush up to work of this factory.

Every standard F1 also has a modem which allows customer care to remotely fetch information from the ECU of the car in order to help aid in the event of a failure of the vehicle.

Pulse information is also used for a variety of other purposes by the ECU or full-vehicle control system, e. g. triggering ABS or traction control, calculating average trip speed, or more mundanely to increment the odometer in place of it being turned directly by the speedometer cable.

Thus, every movement at the wrist is the work of a group of muscles ; because the four primary wrist muscles ( FCR, FCU, ECR, and ECU ) are attached to the four corners of the wrist, they also produce a secondary movement ( i. e. ulnar or radial deviation ).

Postgraduate students are also represented by the ECU Postgraduate Association ( a member of the Council of Australian Postgraduate Associations ), and international students by the International Students Council.

The situation can also be corrected by switching the fuel metering system over to a manifold absolute pressure sensor, a conversion that usually requires a compatible aftermarket ECU or piggy-back fuel controller.

The ECU also controls the spark engine timing along with the fuel injector pulse width, so modifications which alter the engine to operate either too lean or too rich may result in inefficient fuel consumption whenever fuel is ignited too soon or too late in the combustion cycle.

In this model, which saw the ECU re-mapped as well as upgraded injectors and fuel pump to cope with the new fuel type, the brakes have also been upgraded to four-piston AP Racing calipers with increased diameter sport brake pads mated with drilled and vented discs at the front.

Larger fuel injectors and radiator, re-mapped electronic fuel injection, and a more powerful ECU were also added.

The car's performance can also be enhanced by upgrading the car's engine, engine control unit ( ECU ), transmission, suspension, adding nitrous oxide, tires, brakes, reducing the car's weight, and adding turbos.

Bosch also used the MPC5xx throughout the EDC-16 series of Diesel Engine Controllers as did the Cummins B series diesel engine ECU.

The ECU also provides traction control which the driver can turn off from inside the car.

The F22A6 is the same as the F22A1 except for a slightly more aggressive camshaft, a better flowing cast exhaust manifold, a different more aggressively tuned ECU ( PT6 ), and a different intake manifold that utilizes IAB's and also has a bigger plenum.
