Summary:

In 1984, Ford Motor Company Electronics Division began to develop a version of its (production) EEC-IV electronic engine control unit that could provide the precise monitoring and command functions needed for the company's new turbocharged 1.5 liter Formula One V-6 racing engine. The electronic engine control system was necessary to allow the new engine to operate reliably at the limit of its structural integrity, while producing a horsepower/liter ratio at. least 10 times that of typical production powerplants.Ford Electronics Division is now applying the lessons learned on three generations of racing EEC-IV units, for both turbocharged and naturally aspirated racing engines, to improve the performance and durability of its passenger vehicle engines.This paper:
