Any modification to your engine will reduce it´s life. How much it´ll reduce, it´s up to you....the way you drive, how you take care of your car and so...

Forjed parts (pistons, rods and etc) will make your engine stronger, that´s for shure....but if you want to use 50, 60, even 70hp of nitrous, I think it´s a waste of money to buy these parts. Always use good fuel (92+ oct), a purge valvule is something to consider, with that you´ll always inject N2O like it should be (it´s liquid inside the bottle, it must keep this propertie until injected), never use it below 3000rpm´s, inject it only at WOT....

I used 50hp at my old D16Y8 engine for about 2 years, never had any problem...and I used it A LOT....hehehehe....

Cheers
