Default Parts before the TURBO

long story short i am getting a new short block from nissan. i was burning about 2 quarts of oil inbetween oil changes. while they have my motor apart i was thinking of putting in a new clutch and flywheel. i was thining of going with the JWT clutch and flywheel. what do you suggest would work best with a future aps or greddy twin turbo application. also, what cams if any would you suggest?

thanks

It depends on your future hp goals but the JWT setup is fine for 90% of the FI Zs out there. I don't see what cams have to do with it at this point. I imagine you'd want to do the valve train while the cams are open anyhow. I don't imagine Nissan is going to do any headwork since they are only replacing your shortblock. The cams come out to get to the head bolts I believe but I don't think they'll do a head job with aftermarkets parts even if you paid them to.

The JWT combo should be just fine for your immediate power goals.

Honestly, just put the factory stuff back in. No need for extra expense at this point. They are going to be taking your motor apart for the build later and you can just do the clutch then. Don't give Nissan any reason to void your warranty or give you crap. There isn't going to be a night and day change with the upgraded clutch/fw.
