Hard to say, aer and nismo are two really different engine.
According to some rebellion onboard, the p60 is a high rev engine; in those video the engine was revving up to 8000rpm to push about 600hp and because of that I expect a flat torque release for most of low-mid rpm range, but anyway lower than 600Nm.
Nismo-Cosworth engine is the exact reverse, a true dyno motor. It revs at about 7000rpm and was punshing in a range a 700hp this year in the CLM; it developes no less than 800Nm at low-mid rpm for sure.
About the mecachrome unit, it's a single turbo mounted on the AER derivated old gp3 engine, that had 400hp@8000rpm.
Considering the low torque - high rev nature of the NA engine, I expect to see it work as the aer p60 or the ford gt engine.
