Engine missing a beat/misfire under load as turbo winds up
Hi iv got a wr1. Its got a decat and has been remaped. Running approx 340 with matched torque.
Its seems to be missing a beat, for example, doing 10mph in 2nd gear and flooring it, as the turbo winds up and gets to full boost it will miss 1 beat for a split second then carry on accelerating as normal and its fine through the rest of the gears whilst flooring it.
Iv seen some posts on here saying it might be the NPS but i replaced that when i had it mapped about 6 month ago.
I put the uprated plugs in it when i first got it, that was a year ago and have covered approx 9-10k miles and also did the fuel filter and put a green cotton air filter in.
Every bit of help will be appreciated
Thanks

Yes id describe it as a stutter aswell, only dus it as turbo gets onto full boost for a split second.
Hopefully we can sort them out guys.
My friends a mechanic and is going to plug his diag machine into it this week and read all the data and logs whilst booting it when it happens, and hopefully itll show up.
Are yours only doing this in the gear you start booting it in? Then as u carry on booting it through the gears its ok?

long shot but i had this problem in my standard classic, it was the plugs.
have you looked at them?
i put denso iridium plugs in, 10000 miles later had same missfire
took the plugs out one of them had worn out, the point on the electrode had gone, so the gap was huge.
the increasing boost was blowing the spark out, or more accurately the spark was too weak to ignite the mix.
cheap fix none the less
problem is why was it eroding the plugs,
probably a weak mixture in that cylinder, pointed towards a blocked injector,
the plug was getting too hot and wearing down prematurely.
at least the plug wears down before the pistons melt
good and bad news then
good luck lol

it was the central diff banging (or whatever it does)
3-4mm of difference in tread can cause you to destroy your central diff. over a mile your tyres that are of lowest tread with complete approx. 4-5 more full rotations causing your c diff to work overtime, basically trying to correct the difference.
the way to highlight if this is the problem, is to put your c diff into auto, if it does it in auto and not in manual (set fully to open, all the way at the bottom) it shouldn't do it in manual.
hope this helps a lot of you out there!
it felt like a sudden misfire/bang from the rear area.

ah, i thought you ment bang/misfire from the engine.
on a slight side note, launch a classic hard enough and rear dif will smack the sub frame, makes a wicked bang when it does
