Ielasi Tuned ‘Tight Fit’ cylinder puller

Ielasi Tuned has announced the upcoming release of its ‘Tight Fit’ cylinder puller. As users of the Daniele Ielasi’s range of onroad engines will know, since 2022 they have by technical choice started using a ‘tight fit’ cylinder for their GP9R22 engines which has proved to be a very important step reliability. A side effect of this is unfortunately that not all customers find it easy to be able to carry out the classic maintenance on their engine as it was very difficult to be able to remove the cylinder from the crankcase. This is precisely the reason, in recent months they have thought about creating this extractor which finally makes it easier and safer to extract the cylinder from your GP9R22 and GP9R23. Made entirely of steel with a ‘spring steel collet which makes it reliable and long-lasting. The first batch of ‘Tight Fit’ cylinder pullers is due to be available late June.

Ielasi Tuned GP9R’23 1:8 Onroad engine

To mark the tenth anniversary of Ielasi Tuned, the Italian engine tuning brand has released the new GP9R’23 1:8 Onroad engine as the icing on the cake of the trio of engines to be launched over the last month. These included the GP3R’23 1:10 Onroad engine and the 1:8 GT GP5GTR’23. With it 20 years since former World Champion Daniele Ielasi started tuning engines, initially under the IDM brand, his latest work is born from the basis of the new OS R2105 but customised in some aspects. These include Ielasi Tuned exclusive crankcase cap. A 9-light cylinder but with “tight fit” treatment as in the GP9R’22 to increase reliability. New lightened cooling head that results in a 8gram weight saving and a new customised crankshaft. As always the engine has other details already used in the previous version and as always each engine will be prepared and assembled individually .

Ielasi Tuned GP5GTR22 engine

Ielasi Tuned are pleased to announce the new GP5GTR22 engine which is making its official debut this week at the GT European Championship in Lostallo. This engine has been improved in performance, as fuel consumption has always been comfortably above 7 minutes with the old GP5GTR. Now you can expect more acceleration and more speed on the straight line meaning that this engine raises the level even more in this category that is increasingly gaining ground and is in full evolution. This upgrade also includes the new, 15 gram lighter cooling head which will optimise the handling of your car.

New for 2022, Ielasi Tuned has announced a brand new engine for the offroad category, the Dirt-R.
