    Are You sure? How do they declare power? I find it hard to believe that there would be any rule using power figure as a kind of definition. In my opinion it's impossible to control.

    In my opinion the key sentence is the second one.

    All the air necessary for feeding the engine must pass
    through this restrictor, which must respect the following:
    - The power of all cars is restricted according to a minimum
    power/weight ratio of 3.4 kg/hp (4.6kg/kw) in all
    international rallies. The FIA shall, at all times and under
    all circumstances, take all the measures necessary for the
    enforcement of this power restriction.
    - The diameter of the restrictors is established by the FIA
    and must be mentioned in the FIA/R-GT Technical
    Passport.
    I understand that FIA decides in every single case what restrictor such car must use based on some power estimation/measurement under some conditions. That is kind of bizarre regulation because You can't really control exact power value after the passport is granted. In case the resulting power is circa same it's still questionable if it's better to have bigger volume of the engine.
