Solved: Are Hyper Injection cores working?

I'm now working with both the Counter Command and Iconian HIWCs and noticed that at full impulse they won't go over the 100 mark for engine power, even when using Emergency to Engines. Have I ran acrossed a bug here, because I'm pretty sure that's one of the reasons for switching to a Hyper: bonus engine power/go beyond 100=higher speeds. Thanks

So you're telling me all that bounus engine power(and others) just gets "run over" by the standard full impulse setting? That's a waste. How do you get to the core's 130 range then?
To get to 130 for engines when not flying at Full Impulse you basically need to click the icon that diverts most of your power to the engines as opposed to weapons, shields or balanced. You also need bonuses that give you extra power to engines. The Neural Bio-Gel Pack (Delta Alliance) gives +2 power to all subsystems. The engineering Injector Assembly console provides extra power to engines; I assume epic Mk XIV will give +5. A warp core with the [W->E] mod will give +7.5% of weapon power to engines. The player skill Warp Core Potential will give all subsystem +5 power if two points are allocated.
From time to time I allocate power to engines instead of weapons. Depending on the specific captain and ship I can get up to around 110 - 120 power to engines when I do that.

While not at full impulse your warp core, engine batteries, EPtE, or switching/customizing power presets will all help get you over 100.
Also, if the warp core the ship is using has the [Amp] modifier, then for each subsystem that has at least 75 power will allow energy weapon to do 3.3% extra damage; up to a total of 13.2% for all subsystems with at least 75 power.
In the past only Fleet Warp Cores were able to have the [Amp] modifier. However, the equipment upgrade system allows most or all warp cores from reputation systems to receive the [Amp] mod when they are upgraded to ultra rare quality. Not sure if a crafted Warp Core has a chance to receive that trait.

It should include what exactly?

Clarify that the bonus engine power/higher max is for combat only, not full impulse(must use Power Shunt Engineering skill for that).
I will have to strongly disagree with this. The Hyper-Injector core is perfect for those who favor engine power and speed above all else, second to weapon power. It is a very underestimated and underrated core along with engine power and its power distribution. Speed means you can converge on enemy targets and objectives much faster. It also means added survivability because you can outrun warp core breaches, certain dangerous elements like the Nakuhl cone beam and Iconian solar beam. You can also outrun certain torpedo types too. Also, things like gravity rifts and tractor beam becomes less effective against you. Of course, if you don't need speed and would rather prefer other enhancing elements then there are other warp cores that will do that.
I guess that's where I stand with Hyper-Injection warp cores. I suppose it is better to show you what I am talking about. In the following video I use a Hyper-Injection warp core that provides me with a combat speed of 90+ impulse. And combined with certain other elements this ship has a turn rate of 40+ and it also kills pretty fast.
I'll have to see what my Venge's turn is with the Dyson FSWC...I know it's combat speed won't be anywhere near 90(how many injector/other consoles are you using Nephitis?!). Your's looks cool. Do you have a Fed Death Star variant like my terran type: 4 phaser dual banks(23c/Xindi/CC/Agony)? Mine is pretty manuverable just with the CC HIWC + 2 fleet RCSs.
