Excellent question. I'm almost afraid to answer because 1) I'm probably wrong and 2) it'll make me seem like I'm obsessing over the engine which I guess I really am, but maybe that's OK among fellow FlyRotary members :)

If you look at pictures of the 16X rotor here http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=140474

about mid way down the page there's a comparison between the 16X and the 13B rotor. The 16X rotor is almost identical but slightly bigger. I'm just looking at the commercial around the 33 second mark and saying "hmm that looks bigger than a 13B rotor."

Pretty scientific huh?

How can you tell that those are 16X guts? What is the giveaway?
