Default Are all brand jets created equal?

I need jets for my TNT kit for a 175 shot and a 125 shot. I can get some NX jets local. Just wondering if all flare jets are the same. I think they are both not positive

Some jets have diffrent diameter shanks, The NX ones are fatter than the NOS ones. I am not sure which style the TNT nozzles use though

that is true for JETTING numbers, but the actual jets and the numbers for them are for the actual oriface diameter, which is going to be the same from jet to jet.. I/E a .059 jet should be the exact same oriface no matter what manufacturer it is from.

There are two main types of jets, the "NX" style with a fatter stem and the "NOS" style with the thinner stem on them. I have a list at home at which jets interchange but Ill have to dig it up unless someone else posts it first.

The best flowing jets are "funnel" jets, which have a slight bevel on the intlet to improve flow a little at the jet.

To answer your real question, Im not sure if TNT and NX jets are interchangable or not, Ill have to look at my chart when I get home.

Helms is correct on the orfice sizes but deciding on a funnel or flare jet depends on the line at the jet. If you have 3/16" steel tubing or -3AN at the jet you will use flare jets. If you have 1/8" steel or poly tubing at the jet you will use funnel jets.

Thanks for adding that. I forgot to mention that the line and nozzle type wil dictate the correct type of jet.

Jet interchange:

NX (Fat stem style): NX, ZEX, Nitrous works, TNT, Ny-Trex, Compu-Car
NOS(thin stem style): NOS, Edelbrock, Cold Fusion, Speedtech, and I belive dynotune uses NOS style jets as well.

It is also important to note that cold fusion makes them in both sizes if you need them.

Based on this, yes TNT flare jets will interchange with NX flare jets.
