Power Output Considerations

Power produced at the flywheel will be within standard tolerances up to
50C (122F) combustion air temperature measured at the turbocharger
air compressor inlet, and fuel temperature up to 52C (125F) measured
at the fuel filter base. Power rated in accordance with NMMA procedure
as crankshaft power.
