is it possible to add cylinders to the engine? if so how much would it cost?

Question

2001 honda s2000

Answer 1

on this car this is impossible.on a rotary engine yes you can.

Answer 2

YES it is possible and one example is on display in the Science museum in London UK. In the early twenties there was an straight 8 alfa engine used for racing, incredibly rare and no longer available. Some one ( no idea who) commissioned a reproduction in the late 90's to produce an engine they 'manipulated' 2, 4 cylinder units to produce a single block straight 8 ( they also did use paired engines as well but they have separate blocks common cranks). No idea of the cost but it was substantial. As for an individual completing this task the impracticalities when compared to swapping the engine are up for discussion.

You own a s2000 why change it ???

Answer 3

Theoretically yes, You would have to get the engine block cut and re-cast. This would require a new cylinder hear, crank shaft and virtually every other engine part as well. Cost to add 2 cylinders to a 4 cylinder engine would be around $8000 with all necessary parts and machining.

Cost of a new 6 cylinder crate engine: $1500 or so.
As I said, theoretically yes.. Practically NO !

Answer 4

No, you cannot add cylinders to an engine. You can repair an engine, improve it's performance, or replace the entire engine.

Answer 5

You would have to replace the engine. You can not just bolt on extra cylinders!

Answer 6

you would have to buy a new engine to get more cylinders. you could probably add a turbocharger to increase power, but i'm not a gearhead so i don't know for sure.

Answer 7

you can add another engine with more cylinders but you cannot add more cylinders to an engine

Answer 8

no,,it isn't possible,,to do this,you can change a engine to a bigger engine,,but you cant add cylinders to one,,good luck,

Answer 9

Not possible.
