Specifications of the Turnigy TR-111

I recently bought two 11.5 HP gas engines from Hobby King. They are made by Turnigy and have the designation TR-111.



Surprisingly, there is no way to get any information other than on the product page. There is not even a mention of it on the Turnigy website. So, here I post information that I have gleaned from inspecting the engine myself. I planned to use these engines together to the power the same drive shaft to get about 23 HP. I picked the TR-111 engine because they were relatively cheap, lightweight (NW of 2.5 kg each), and satisfied my power target of over 20 HP.

To see it in action, check out the video from 'redsjcman' (who also has a review on the HobbyKing product page):



I do not have a video of my own yet, but hopefully I will soon.

Now, let us move on to the specifications.

First, the general specifications listed on the box:

MODEL: TR-111
DISPLACEMENT: 111.27 cc
BORE AND STROKE: 45 mm * 35 mm * 2
IGNITION: Electronic Auto Advance Ignition
SPARK PLUGS: CM-6
POWER RATING: 11.5 HP
PROPELLER: 26*12 27*10
SPEED RANGE: 1400 PPM - 7000 RPM
OIL: 25-40: 1 MIX (the octane number should be 93 or higher : lubrication Type of 2-cycle oil)

I made measurements using this dial caliper from Harbor Freight. I use three significant digits.

Engine:

Overall Dimensions (stripped down;unequipped with mounting hardware, ignition system, etc.):
(Please note these dimensions were not taken with a caliper, but with a ruler)
-6 11/64" length (excluding small shaft)
-10 5/32" width
-6 3/4" height

Engine Mounting Plate Dimensions:
-2.519" minimum distance between holes on shorter side.
-3.049" maximum distance between holes on shorter side.
By taking the average of the last two measurements, we can infer the hole center distance.
-2.784" (70.7 mm) center distance between holes on shorter side.
-3.435" maximum distance between holes on longer side.
-2.905" minimum distance between holes on longer side.
By taking the average of the last two measurements, we can infer the hole center distance.
-3.17" (80.5 mm) center distance between holes on the longer side.

Engine Small Shaft Dimensions:
-0.391" (9.93 mm) diameter
-1.571" (39.9 mm) length
-0.173" (4.39 mm) threaded hole inner diameter

Propeller Mounting Hardware:
6 x (Bolt, Washer, Split Lock Washer)
Cap

Bolt Dimensions:
-0.191" (4.85 mm) unthreaded diameter
-0.325" (8.26 mm) head diameter
-0.162" (4.11 mm) hex socket minimum diameter
Split Lock Washer Dimensions:
-0.217" (5.51 mm) ID
-0.324" (8.23 mm) OD
-0.053" (1.35 mm) thickness
Washer Dimensions:

Cap Dimensions:
-1.676" (42.6 mm) OD
-0.398" (10.1 mm) bore
-0.153" (3.89 mm) thickness
-0.206" (5.23 mm) bolt hole diameter
-0.919" inner bolt circle diameter
-1.328" outer bolt circle diameter
From the average of the previous two, the bolt circle diameter can be inferred.
-1.1235" (28.5 mm) bolt circle diameter

From installed mounting spacer to shaft tip, the total length of the engine would be about 8.53".
