12a and 13b are both twin rotor engines. there are 2 main types of each, 4 port and 6 port. this refers to the number of inlet ports. the inlet ports are located in the sideplates between each rotor housing.
the main difference between the 12a and the 13b are the thickness of the rotors. the size of rotors are the same but the 13b rotors are slightly thicker. 12a tends to be more revvy than the 13b aswell.
