The TIO-541 family of engines includes the TIGO-541 turbocharged, fuel-injected, geared, horizontally opposed engine.
There is no carburetted, non-turbocharged version of the engine, which would have been designated O-541 and therefore the base model is the TIO-541.
Design and development
The TIO-541 family of engines covers a range from {{convert|310|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} to {{convert|450|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}}. The engine has a fuel injection system which meters fuel in proportion to the induction airflow. The engine has a displacement of 541.5 cubic inches (8.87 litres) and produces a maximum of {{convert|450|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} in its TIGO-541 version. The cylinders have air-cooled heads.
The first TIO-541-A1A was type certified on 23 February 1965 on the regulatory basis of CAR 13 effective 15 June 1956 as amended to 13-1 through 13-4.
