Get Multiple W-Engine Copies

Upgrade W-Engine
If you want to upgrade a W-Engine's star level, you'll need multiple copies of it first. Once you have more than one, you can use the upgrade screen to increase the W-Engine's stars by the amount of W-Engine copies used.

To get extra copies, you can either buy F2P W-Engines from the Gadget Store, or you can pull from the W-Engine Gacha Banner.
