Lol, its no biggie, I often.use the.wrong value in conv when talking to peeps.
Anyhow, yeh seems something is amiss with the ps side of things, there are somethings which require idle up as theres extra mech or elec strain on the motor.
If the motor isnt allowed to increase idle then it can stall.

Makes sense. I just got it home and instead of turning it off I just turned the wheel all the way to the side and it didn't increase in rpms it just slowly died. The further I turned the quieter the engine got until it died

out of interest... do you have that stalling after start problem if your wheels are dead straight with no load on the power steering??
AND... does your power steering work when the motor's turned off.....(it shouldn't but if its wired wrong then it could)... and that would drain your battery.

Here is a crappy video I took of me starting the car and turning the wheel all the way to the side. I start it with the wheels dead straight. It dies the first time an then the second time I keep the revs up and when I let go it drops bellow 1000 and it then raises back up a bit. (that part isn't me reving) http://www.youtube.com/wa...e=youtube_gdata_player

Also here is the dyno of my car a few years ago prior to the ct20b turbo. Stock fuel system stock ecu. Soooooo let's just hope I completely miss heard the guy saying 225hp cause if that's the case it's lots power....

Whats the full spec on your engine?
Is it the same dyno?
Dyno numbers can be fudged a bit. Does it feel noticably more powerful?

Well it's the original 92 3sgte with Polyurethane front and rear engine mounts
CT20b turbo
3" exhaust system with Blitz Nur SpecR exhaust
Apexi intake with pod filter, bigger "eBay" intercooler, Haltech 3 bar map sensor, twin feed road and track bored out fuel rail with sard 800cc injectors, FPR, Haltech sprint 500.
I'm pretty sure that's everthing performance wise. The tuner told me it was boosting at about 14-15psi

And how much where you boosting on stock ecu? Was it a stock ct26 or hiflowed?
Did you have the 3in exh before? Std intercooler?
225hp for 14psi sounds a little low. By bro has around 245hp atw only diff to yours is gen3 engine. The have better exh cam timing.

165kw on a stock gen2 is complete bs. They only had that at the flywheel new anyway.
Factor in however old the engine is and loss of compression etc and drivetrain loss even raisong the boist the stock ct26 just wont do it with stock everything.
I got 215rwhp with a hiflowed ct26 and 15psi, upgraded intercooler and old 3in exh (couldnt be worse than stock.)
Also, walbron and injs wont make power, they just supply the extra required fuel for however you managed to get more air into your engine.
The gen3 540 injs are good for 300-350rwhp .

I asked the previous owner and this is what he said. I mean unless the dyno he went on was way off I would say its true
"Exhaust as it is. Intake. Had the stock intercooler and ct26. Now ud have fuel system...ct20b...uprated side mount and a tune. I don't know what boost i made 170kw on tho as didn't have a boost controller."

"disney" dyno imho.
so basically disregard that dyno power figure.
have a look around, but 170-180kw is what most get when pushing on an old stock unopened gen2 with hiflow/ct20b's, greddy IC's and 3in exhuasts. with ecu maybe you'd push a little more, but to get 200rwkw you'd need to run 18-20psi which i wouldn't recommend on an unopened old gen2.

also, dyno's can vary on themselves even without fudged readings.
also, if you don't have a dedicated fan for the intercooler running like the one they put for your radiator the intercooler will heat soak very quickly and drastically reduce whatever power you make.
you can do what i did, got one of those pump weed killer bottles from bunnings, fill it with distilled water, and when they go to do a power run on the dyno have your IC fan running(the one in the engbay) and spray a fine mist over the IC (making sure not to overspray and wet the dyno rollers etc)
you'll get a more accurate performance figure to what you will get on the road when having constant airflow over the IC.
