I'm looking to build a dyno this winter, just need to source the more expensive bits before taking the plunge. I've toyed with the idea of a hydraulic setup as well, but finding a cheap linear proportioning valve hasn't been easy. I think it will come down to finding a good valve or reduction box that will determine the method.
