My Supra is an 89+. Black smoke I thought meant bad turbo. But if you were just pulling it onto a trailer I wouldn't think it would be under enough load to blow black smoke. I'm not really knowledgable when it comes to looking at smoke in the exhaust. Blue=oil, White=coolant, and Black=too much fuel. I think that's right? Some of the smart(experienced) ppl will chime in and tell you I'm sure.
Wait you said you don't have your intercooler piping hooked up? That would cause the car to run rich hence the black smoke. Also your idle will be really rough because un-metered air is entering through the intake pipe instead of the AFM. That should be the cause of your problem. Hook up your intercooler and the smoke should go away. LOL I feel stupid now for not noticing that earlier.
That's odd. Usually it idles funny. I know that when Driving mine with the upper intercooler pipe off it would try to die alot. Well when you get the intercooler hooked up hopefully that fixes your problem. I'm guessing you checked all the simple stuff like Spark plugs and what not. Check codes for any other problems and Refer to the TSRM for more info than you want to know. Hope to meet you sometime.
I guess I will wait and c if it still does it when I get my hardpipes on. I need new plugs and wires to, so that might also be contribute to the prob. But anyway when do they have meets in springfield?
Sounds Awesome. I have to order me some hardpipes, and after I get them on my supra is ready to go. What all do they do at the meets?
That sounds fun. Ive never been to one. Man if they are taking pics i might need to freshen up the old supra. The paint aint the best. But anyway it sounds like a blast. Let me know something. Hey are you going to gateway international speedway october 3?
Hey, I will be there in my supra. It is still mostly stock but I have a couple mods. Just PM me your number and I will give you a call. I can show you around. Well at least we can look around. I usually just hang out in the drifting lot. But I'd definitely like to check out your supra.

I wouldn't worry about your paint too much. There were plenty of Supras there that didn't have perfect paint jobs. Mine doesn't have a perfect paint job either. The front is brighter than the back lol. I'll see whats in my schedule for Oct. 3rd and if I can take a couple of days off I'll be there.
Here's a pic of my car.
That paint is in really good shape. Mine i think is flat black spray paint. Looks good! What kind of mods have you done to it?
Howdy. Woot for more MO Supras! Ive got a 1j and will be out at MM as well. Don't be a stranger! Beware of Mazzer, he's like the old guy on Family Guy lol

No, I will never run at a MM, its $20 to run and they always max out at 300 cars, so its like a 2 hr wait b/t runs. I take mine on Tues t/t if I take it at all. Mine is just a street car lol. I go out there and drink lol. Its like a bar w/ a $10 cover and all my friends are there, PLUS cars!
