Sherryberg Manifold

[kko110]

Hi,

Has anyone here had first hand experience with the quality of the M10 Sherryberg manifolds available on Aliexpress to suit DCOE carbs?

I am looking to install twin 45s to mine and accept that there will be port matching and enlarging reqd. I am more interesred in how accurate the mating holes are machined.

Thanks

karl

Huh- the link didn't pop up an intake manifold.... but now I wanna rip the EFI off the 122 and stick some $120 DCOEs on it!

 

I think you'll have to be the guinea pig here, Karl.  These things come and go with 

amazing speed, so as they say, 'ya pays yer moneys and ya takes yer chances!'

At the prices listed for other things, I'd say it depends on your ability to clean up the mess

that the parts have on them.  If they faithfully stole the design from a good manifold,

they could be pretty painless.  If they were sloppy with machining, you might end up having

to reface them to get the angles right/the same.  

I sometimes buy things like this to gamble on them- "The worst that can happen is I'm out $100,

but the BEST that can happen is that I get a fun challenge to recut the mounting faces, weld up and

redrill the holes, and clean out all the casting flash.  WooHoo!!!"  

Sometimes it's a bit of a letdown when the part just bolts up and works...

 

Anyway, sure, the manifolds are going to be wearing their faults on the outside, so why not?

The carbs, no, those have the potential to inflict lots of pain and damage, in ways that

can't be predicted.

Yeah, URL is bad, but the front part of it (up to the “.html”) works.

 

Pretty sure that water hose pipe connection is not for DCOEs.. Nice intake length, but it may pose an issue if you don’t have tii booster.  The casting/machining doesn’t look too bad…

Sherryberg have been around for quite a few years, they make ignition parts and carburettors mainly, but also throttle bodies and manifolds. I have used their ignition parts on various cars with no complaints, the carbs look well made...someone needs to try, a pioneer will to risk everything for the glory of success 🙂 = @kko110

Having had a 'sub- optimal' experience with a Spanish Weber once,

I'd be very hesitant to slap a set of Chinese- sourced Weber copies on and go.

Plus, if one's good, there's no guarantee that the next will be...

 

Now, as a science experiment, why the heck not, eh?

 

The myriad of throttle body configurations is tempting, I must admit...

Since there aren't any moving parts and you plan to modify it, it might work.

 

If the bolt spacing is correct and there's enough metal its worth a shot.
