What are the differences, besides the obvious; like displacement.

Does the n13 have offset piston pin and crank like the n20? Does it have short piston skirts. Does the crank ride in regular bearings? Is the block all-alu? If not, does it utilize the new metal-spray coating technique like in the n20?

Some pretty technical stuff you are looking for so I'd say your best bet would be to Google "N13 and N20 Engine Specs" then follow sublinks to drill down to more detailed info if it's available.
