Hasi Tuned 7 & 9 port .21 Onroad engines

Hasi Tuned, the engine tuning brand set-up by top international Swiss onroad racer Silvio Hächler, has released two new .21 Onroad engines.  Available in 7 or 9 port variations, the engines are totally new with the key difference over the previous version being new high dissipation and low density aluminium cooling head, to combine functionality and lightweight.  Also new is the crankshaft, with revised timing and balancing. There is also new piston and liner with high compression piston. The design of the ports has been revised to combine performance and reliability.  A new reinforced conrod completes the updates.  Each engine will have its own dedicated sleeve, which will be perfectly honed inside the crankcase, avoiding dangerous vibrations.  Like every Hasi engine, they are numbered one by one and accompanied by a certificate of guarantee and authenticity and the useful engine book.

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 .
