Alex Albon and Konstantin Tereshchenko were two tenths off in second and third with their late flyers, displacing Charles Leclerc.
Tunjo was just 0.012s adrift the Ferrari protege in fifth, while the Monegasque had Jack Aitken, Alex Palou, Nyck de Vries and Tatiana Calderon less than a tenth behind as well.
Koiranen's Matt Parry was quickest in the afternoon after beating long-time leader Jake Dennis to the spot.
The duo were two of the few drivers able to improve their morning times, Parry becoming second quickest overall.
Aitken made up an all-British top three, just two hundredths slower than his teammate Dennis.
Nirei Fukuzumi was fourth, leading ART teammates Leclerc and Albon.
