Yes, just make sure what Fuel Pressure they're rated at for the jet size.

You mean a nitrous outlet plate? if so, the NOS jets are not the same and are NOT interchangeable.

No! There are at least 2 different types of jets.

hmm interesting. I have a nitrous outlet plate and i have a couple NOS jets and they seem to work fine....I've never sprayed with the jets though. I just put them in and tightened the line and it worked out.

You can interchange jets as long as they are the same style. There are basically 2 common types, a "NOS" style and "NX" style as I like to call them, TNT, HSW, Nitrous outlet, zex, all use the "NX" style which is a short stem, "NOS" has a longer stem and if you wanted to use it, you could cut some off but thats in emergency situation.

Not only does the NOS style have a longer stem they are also flared at the base where it meets the head of the jet.
