I'm trying to imagine what is different between the AT and MT engines other
than manifolds and computer programming.  Are the rotors different--i.e.
different compression?  Surely the end plates (and ports) are the same,
otherwise there would be two production lines.

The Automatic low power is a four intake port engine and the manual high power
is a six intake port engine. Here are some shots of the RX8 automatic end housing.
You can see the missing ports.

Pardon me, but how can you "see" the missing ports if they are not marked in by Crayon
or such where they would be in that configuration. Could you mark them in where there
would be. Please.

How about this. This is a high power RX8 engine.
