Im sure an ST170 lump would go in as its pretty much a zetec just the inlet manifold being the problem as the ka is limited in space at the front.

As for other ST models lke the mk2 focus and mk6/7 fez then i doubt it will be as easy conversion because of the mounting issues.

The turbo on the Van Aaken kit is a T15 IIRC not sure if its 'from' anything. They are way more fun than a standard 1.3 but for the money spent to get them to a decent BHP figure you could have a cheaper and LIGHTER 2.0 zetec.
