hi...
is it a good project for us from cost side................

I found a good piece of Information from Wikipedia which you may find useful

A term six stroke engine describes two different approaches in the internal combustion engine developed since the 1990s to improve its energy and environmental efficiency.

• Some designs capture the waste heat from the four stroke Otto cycle or Diesel cycle and use it to power an additional power and exhaust stroke of the piston. Designs either use steam or air as the working fluid for the additional power stroke. As well as extracting power, the additional stroke cools the engine and removes the need for a cooling system making the engine lighter and giving 40%[1] increased efficiency over the Otto Cycle or Diesel Cycle. The pistons in a six stroke engine go up and down six times for each injection of fuel.

These six stroke engines have 2 power strokes, one fuel, one steam or air. The currently notable six stroke engine designs include Crower's six stroke engine, the Bajulaz engine and the Velozeta Six-stroke engine.

• Another approach employed by the Australian Beare Head engine and the German Charge pump engine are called six stroke by their designers and spread the six strokes between pairs of pistons. The Beare Head uses a second opposed piston in each cylinder which moves at half the cyclical rate of the main piston, thus giving six piston movements per cycle. the second piston replaces the valve mechanism of a conventional engine. It does not use any additional working fluid. The German Charge pump engine invented by Helmut Kottmann uses a second charging cylinder alongside the power cylinder. In both designs the charging second cylinder replaces the valve mechanism of the normal internal combustion engine.
