Time to LEVEL UP your predator 212 cc nonhemi engine from harbor freight with performance mods using budget parts and the right tools for the job!
This video details some less expensive parts, why I chose those parts over alternatives, a few tips and tricks on a performance build for a 212cc nonhemi harbor freight engine, and the tools you would need to do a performance build go kart or mini bike riding engine kit.
The engine used here is a predator 212 which is a 212cc performance engine. This engine build is one of the least expensive builds you can do with your harbor freight engine whether it's for your race kart or a mini bike. I'm using one of these in my race mini bike, one of these predator 212 performance engines will be used in my racing go kart, and one in my race wheelbarrow. This can be considered a stage 3 engine by many and has no part work done to it. You can pick up this harbor freight engine for pretty cheap and I've blown up a couple in testing so it's nice to grab a new one quickly and near me. This is a 6.5 predator engine and the 212cc to hp rank is 6.5hp out of box. When you upgrade your predator motors to a 212 stage 1 you are opening flow. When you add further 212cc predator engine mods with performance parts, you are opening up to a much more powerful engine!
This performance engine build will go on a race kart for oval track dirt track once ready. With the performance carb, most signs I see call this stage 3 build. However, some people call it stage 2, and I even saw one person call this a stage 4 build of which there was only that 1. When you're ready to take your game above the stage 1 mini bike or off road kart engine kits then you can expect to spend at least close to $400 on parts to up your game.
