I'm still figuring it out as I play with options.
I'd spend up to $10k if I can figure out how to make something I'd actually
want to drive regularly. Don't think I'd need to go over $5k though even
with pretty fancy hydraulics. My sense so far anyway, assuming very
economical frame and ancillaries. hydraulicinnovations.com's chopper was
around $3k I think off the top of my head.
I'm also trying to modularize the thinking somewhat so cost / performance
can scale up / down, somewhat similar to wikispeed.

I've seen small displacement ones amounting to about 13 HP sustained
capacity for a couple hundred. That's enough for highway speeds, barely,
with good aerodynamics.
Would like to find something capable of 40 GPM at around 2000 PSI, 3K RPM
for pump, 1500 RPM for motor, very roughly, to be in the same ballpark as a
mid-performance car.

Proportional/servo valves as well,
likewise.

HYDRAULIC POWER
Complete Hyraulic power unit $299
http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200329758_200329758?cm_ven=n…
vs
11GPM 3000PSI hydraulic pump - $90,
would need a motor and coupling, or a
clutch/gearing to use power from an engine

Hydraulic motor $125
http://www.amazon.com/Chief-Hydraulic-Replacement-Char-Lynn-Diameter/dp/B00…
1.5" bore, 10" stroke -
$50
http://www.amazon.com/Mighty-Double-Acting-Hydraulic-Cylinder/dp/B00BGZ9VNU
2.5" bore 14" stroke -
$60
http://www.amazon.com/Mighty-Double-Acting-Hydraulic-Cylinder/dp/B009LQIXJ4/
this doesn't include valves -
there are manual and solenoid easily
available but I would like to also develop a standard servo-actuated ball
valve
