Description

EC Stage 3 Performance Kit – Upgrade for Ghost 212, Ducar 212, Predator 224 & Tillotson 212E


Take your small-block engine to the next level with the EC Stage 3 Performance Kit, designed to deliver performance comparable to the Tillotson 225R. Whether you're building a competitive mini bike, go-kart, or street cruiser, this kit provides a balanced, high-output setup for the Ducar 212, Ghost 212, Predator 224, and Tillotson 212E platforms.


By replacing stock components with precision-matched, high-performance upgrades, this kit helps create a level playing field across different engine brands while increasing horsepower, RPM range, and durability.


Why Choose the EC Stage 3 Kit?

  • Cross-Platform Compatibility: Engineered for Ghost 212, Tillotson 212E, Ducar 212, and Predator 224—all based on the GX200 clone architecture.
  • Performance Matched to the 225R: Similar cam and carb specs to the Tillotson 225R for consistent high-RPM power.
  • Optimized for Peak Performance: Raises RPM ceiling and torque peak, delivering a more aggressive power curve compared to Stage 2 kits.


What’s Included in the Stage 3 Kit:

1. Wildcat WC22 Carburetor Kit
A 26mm round-slide carb based on the PZ26 and improved for GX200-style engines. Flows approximately 85 CFM, making it ideal for ported heads and modified builds.

2. TTS-265 Banzai Camshaft w/ 26lb Springs
Proven .265” lift cam known for broad power bands. Popular in sprint kart racing, off-road use, and performance street engines.

3. Rev Wheel Billet Flywheel
Low-drag billet aluminum flywheel with strong neodymium magnets. Built-in 34° timing for better spark energy and torque delivery.

4. Pinnacle Forged Billet Connecting Rod
Essential for high-RPM builds exceeding 6000 RPM, this rod adds strength and durability to the rotating assembly.

5. 70mm Fire Ring Head Gasket
Ensures a reliable seal between the cylinder head and block. Fire ring design accommodates thermal expansion better than thin steel gaskets.

6. Replacement Side Cover Gasket
Included for convenience when swapping cams or rods.

?? Note: Exhaust headers are no longer included. This kit is optimized for headers with an internal diameter of .870" or larger. For best performance, use headers with a .930–.960" ID and the RLV 4106 muffler if muffling is required.


Engine Compatibility & Notes

  • The 58mm crank in the 224 may require minor grinding on the compression release tab for cam clearance.
  • Billet rods in the Predator 224 Non-Hemi may require block clearancing due to increased big-end size.
  • For fewer clearance issues with similar displacement, consider the Wildcat 223.


?? Performance Comparison vs Stage 2

  • Powerband Shift: Peak power increases. Peak Torque 4500-5500rpms, Peak Horsepower 6000-6800rpms
  • Major Upgrades: Carburetor and camshaft are the biggest performance gains in Stage 3 over Stage 2.


??? Recommended Oils

  • Break-In Oil: Maxima 5W-16
  • Racing Oil: Maxima RS 0W-20


?? Recommended Spark Plugs

  • NGK BPR6ES / BPR7ES
  • NGK BPR6EIX / BPR7EIX
  • E3.18 (High-performance option)
  • Avoid Autolite 3910X – prone to fouling in gasoline builds.

Spark Plug Gap: .026"–.032"
