Our take on the Hop Up Kit, 212 Predator Hemi, Stage 1

This is a bolt-on Stage 1 kit for the 212cc Hemi Predator engine, the engine found on many go-karts, mini bikes and pressure washers. It bundles an open air filter and adapter, a choke bracket, a matched jet, upgraded 18 or 22 lb valve springs, a valve cover gasket, an offset timing key, and a choice of small fan or aluminum flywheel, with an optional header. The combination of more airflow, more fuel and a timing advance is the standard recipe for waking up a stock 212, and the kit claims roughly 10+ horsepower. It suits owners who can turn wrenches and want a proven parts package rather than piecing it together. The main trade-off is that it is not a complete build: no head gasket, no oil for the filter, and the stock flywheel is called out as a failure risk, so the flywheel choice matters.

About the Hop Up Kit, 212 Predator Hemi, Stage 1

This Stage 1 hop up kit is a basic performance upgrade for 212 Hemi Predator engines. It is simple to install and is rated at approximately 10+ HP of added power.

The kit includes a race/open air filter with adapter, a choke bracket, a jet matched to the application, upgraded valve springs, a valve cover gasket and an offset timing key. You choose either a small fan or an aluminum flywheel. A header/exhaust is optional.

Manufacturers sometimes use different jets on the same models, so the stock jet size should be known before ordering. The filter should be sprayed with K&N-type oil, especially in dirt applications. Oil is not included. The header or pipe should be supported with a bracket or brace to the frame or engine, or it may fracture or break.

Questions and answers

What is included in the Stage 1 kit?
An open air filter and adapter, choke bracket, matched jet, upgraded 18 or 22 lb valve springs, valve cover gasket, offset timing key, and a choice of small fan or aluminum flywheel. An optional header is offered.
How much power does it add?
The kit is rated at roughly 10+ horsepower over a stock 212 Hemi when the parts are installed and tuned correctly.
Do I need the aluminum flywheel?
It is strongly recommended. Stock and clone flywheels are described as prone to failure and dangerous, and choosing the aluminum flywheel means the small fan is not included or needed.
Will the supplied jet fit my engine?
Not always. Manufacturers use different stock jets on the same model, so check your stock jet size before installing.
Is the header included?
No, the header is optional. If you add one, brace it to the frame or engine or it may fracture.
What else do I need to buy?
A head gasket and K&N-type filter oil are not included. Oil the filter, especially for dirt use.
