Power Steering Stalling Car

I have a JDM Honda Integra Type R DC5.

When parking the car the power steering is causing the revs to drop, sometimes stalling the car.
What can I do for this not to happen?

I'm not using the power steering output for anything other than what Honda intended.

The car only has a HKS filter, lightened flywheel and paddle clutch.

Also when dipping the clutch the idle did not alway catch at idle which I put down to the flywheel. To compensate I raised the idle speed to 850rpm and increased the idle valve duty cycle by two clicks. it has never stalled when dipping the clutch since.

So, why are the revs dropping so much with the power steering :?:

Cheers,
Ian

It is more than likely the lightened flywheel that is causing this as there is less inertia and it will not hold the RPM like the stock one would.

Thanks Spunkster, I had a feeling that would be your answer. It's always good to have an other opinion though

I made a mistake with what I said above.
The idle was 800rpm from 750rpm and the duty was increased by one click.

Since my first post I have increased them to the setting I first mentioned so hopefully this will help keep things going. So far so good :)
