The board only has a single PCI-E X16 slot, so it's not going to happen unless you listed the wrong board.

the 2.0 slot is 4x, sli requires an 8x slot.

is there anyway to make that pcie 2.0 x16 @x4 run at x8 sience it is physicly  in x16

Unfortunately not, it only has the traces on the motherboard for a 4x electrical connection, and I believe that they're coming off of the SouthBridge, which would hamper any potential performance benefit that SLI would give you, you would have to physically rewire all the PCB traces to make it work, and that is impossible. Your only option would be to sell the motherboard and buy one with proper SLI certification.
