I am sure that have one for an '02...not sure why one is not listed on the site.

Glad you liked the information.

A motor will not last long at all with N20 abuse. Spraying while at idle, or doing other stupid things will toast a motor quickly. However, using a reputable nitrous kit properly installed and using the proper timing and plugs AND not getting carried away with the amount of spray, the motor will last nearly forever.

Sure, any power adder is gonna take some life out of the motor. This might be a problem if these engines were designed to only go 100k miles, however, these motors are lasting for hundred of thousand miles. Wiht regular nitrous use, you may need to rebuild sooner, but in the end, most of us will get rid of the car well before putting 150k+ on the block.
