Wouldn't you love to have one of these in your shop?

So, I'm doing a little googling to find out how to test an injection pump and I came across this diesel injection pump and nozzle test bench and I just started to drool.  Imagine, being able to completely calibrate both your injection pump and injectors for quantity, spray pattern, and timing.  I had to go get a towel to wipe off the drool that was dripping down my shirt

The list of things you can test with this setup includes:

1.  Measurement of each cylinder delivery at any speed
2.  Test point and interval angle of oil supply of injection pump.
3.  Checking and adjust the mechanical governor.
4.  Checking and adjusting the distributor pump.
5.  Experiment and adjusting of behavior of supercharging and compensatory device.
6.  Measurement of oil return of distributing pump
7.  Testing of the electromagnetic valve of distributor pump. (12V/24V)
8.  Measurement of the internal pressure of distributor pump.
9.  Checking of the advance angle of advance device. (on request)
10. Checking the sealing of injection pump body
11. Install tube of auto-sucking oil supply can check on oil supply pump (including VE pump).


Oh well, I don't think the wife would let me spend $5500 plus shipping to get one, but I can dream.

thats all 5500??Im in guys. Sure its not more like 55,000

Chinese, probably all plastic. :lol:  Shipping and transport would probably at least double that, then there is the lack of experience of what you are tuning for exactly.

Yeah, that's the other problem I was thinking of, what are the specs for injection quantity, advance vs. RPM, initial governor defuel RPM, and internal recirc flow to tank (which was answered on other threads).  I would love to get my hands on a repair/overhaul manual for a Bosch VE pump that includes all of the required tests/adjustments.
