I have a Nokia Lumia 520 with Lumia Black OS. I want to upgrade to Windows Phone 8.1 after reading Windows Phone 8.1: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly [Review]
But will the upgrade cost me the phone's manufacturer warranty?

Yes, installing the developer preview (the only way to get 8.1 at this point in time) will void your warranty. That being said, people don't seem to have major issues so far, and you can probably flash 8.0 back to your phone if something goes wrong (with some effort).
If you are able to do the update via Settings -> Software Update (or something like that) it will not void the warranty, especially not of the manufacture.
Perhaps if you are using the 'Preview for Developers'-application you may want to check it with your telecom provider - which sold you the phone and thus has given you warranty.
you will not void your warranty AS LONG AS the following condition:-
It did not void my warranty, I update my phone 2 weeks before I visited a service center for a heating issue. They didn't ask me anything. They just checked and gave me back after an hour.
No, this does not void the warranty. You can use an app called Warranty Check from the Store. I just needed to enter my IMEI number. I updated my phone with the 8.1 Preview for Developers, and my phone is still under warranty.
