2020 TaoTao Hellcat Performance Upgrades

Hello again! Ok I havent seen too many posts on performance upgrades on here so I figured I would start this thread.

I will post performance upgrades ive found, where I found them and how they performed. I hope others will follow suit and post upgrades they have found (that are still available) and give a review.

PZ20 Carburator

Although everyone has suggested the VM22 unless you change the intake manifold you wont get more than 20mm anyway so i went with this $13 carb from amazon it is adjustable and has cheap jet kits available, but right out of the box with a slight adjustment to air/fuel screw it has added power and eliminated the bogging the factory carb would do at times.

17 tooth 17mm front sprocket from Amazon.

Another cheap upgrade that has helped stretch the gears and added about 5mph to top end.

Airbox delete

K&N filter did not fit right in the box so I just did the delete. All I had to do was remove the box (2 screws) I didnt turn around the intake manifold yet and dont think i will i dont like having the air filter behind the front tire seems like a bad idea for dirt and even water if you get caught in the rain.

DOES NOT FIT HELLCAT
K&N airbox filter

Cheap filter that fits and has nipple for exhaust vent.

I ordered K&N 62-1460 will update when installed
Installed it today much better throttle response as always K&N does not disappoint!

I just order the 6pin cdi that gets rid of the rpm limiter. Will let yall know

Installed it today noticed 0 difference before installing new K&N filter, but it is plug and play and cheap enough. With K&N filter much better throttle response.

There are a couple of mounting spots under the transmission to mount the muffler.

Enjoy the Ride!

There’s a link for the sound:



This is not my bike. Currently, I’m still incapacitated with neck surgery recovery.

Thanks! It does Suck! I have Parts laying around to install on my HellCat, but I can’t do anything!

On the good side, it’s been over a week since the surgery and I have 10 days until I go see the surgeon for follow-up.

Enjoy the Ride!
