Mark - not sure that 1/2 hp will have the required power to get the pump to 4000rpm
Just a suggestion - try taking a "static" torque reading with a torque wrench slowly turning over a pump (with injectors and fuel connected) to get an idea of the torque required, then calculate the power required (I'd probably add 30%-50% capacity above that)
OEM Pump dyno's are rated much higher that 1/2 hp - think 10hp or 20hp (although they are designed for running huge diesel pumps)
I'd think 4-5hp would be required.
Great work - very interested in your progress
Regards
John
