nitrous jets?
nitrous jets? whats the diffrence between the brass jets and the stainless jets other than money? i read where (cant remember where) they say better consistancy but does anyone know if thats true or not?
Shouldnt be any more consistent, unless its meaning their talking about the size of the orifice from jet to jet of the same number. But I cant say that would be an issue. All jets are rated from the size of the orifice, and drilling a brass fitting and SS fitting should yeild the same results if using the same size bit. Not helping much am I? Well, I tried.

ok i found it on NOS's site
stainless
Each jet is 100% flow-tested to be within +/- 3% of the specified flow target
Orifice entry and exit geometry is tailored on each jet to meet the target flow and maintain hole size
Light years ahead of "traditional" brass jets in terms of accuracy, precision and repeatability
brass
They are manufactured by pressing a sapphire jewel into the jet body and then utilizing laser technology to "drill" an orifice to the exact specified jet diameter. NOS sapphire jets can be used for low fuel pressure and nitrous jetting, as well as a close tolerance jet for high fuel pressure tuning.
sounds like a marketing scam to sell a jet for $10.00 a piece rather than $7.00 or whatever they go for does anyone else agree?

Bingo!
The exact tolerance of the orafice isn't that important. The only application where it even matters is with port fogger systems, but unless the tolerance is at least equal on the nozzle passages, then that's even pointless.

I know my spelling may be off sorry about that.

I do not know this for a fact, but I seriously doubt that NOS actually flow tests each jet. Especially after speaking with a buddy of mine who actally does check every jet and runs a NOS sytem. He typically scraps about 1/2 of the NOS jets he buys. Granted hes pretty **** about this stuff, but runs a serious door slammer up here in New England. Think of how much that would cost NOS. Can anybody enlighten me on this one?

How was that for a riddle I kinda thought it was
Why does anything go up over time, it costs more to make, market, and sale. The reason that MFG jets cost what they do is (it is the life blood and the holy water for the nitrous system). More time is spent designing and setting the jetting then anything else in any nitrous system.
