No. In the 3.5L era ('89 to '96), there were no rules limiting the number of cylinders
blue72s,
Check your history, 3.5 liters, 12 cylinder maximum. The 10 cylinder engine had nothing to do with a fantasy about 350cc. I had to do with the new regulations moving the pedals behind the front axle line and a desire by Honda and Renault to demonstrate that they finally had enough computer power to go beyond the traditional 60, 90, 120, V angles. After two years, Honda switched to a V-12 with 291 cc cylinders and a 100 more hp.
That SAE paper is 690748. 700122 and 640664 also show similar results.
