as long as you take care of your motor and don't overrev or over boost then you should be fine....the 4G63 can take a beating....and usually if something goes wrong its a factory defect...that is....if its stock. if you mod it then you need good tuning to keep it together for an extended period of time.

If you dont mind me asking how exactly did you manage to blow up your engine? Self tuning? Any serious modifications to the car?

you should be fine, a defect is a defect, it rarely occurs.
