The car ran electronic fuel injection and the ignition was taken care of by a rotor arm and coil like most japanese cars. You should be able to sort the injection and ignition out for fairly cheap but you will need aftermarket management for it which you can pick up 2nd hand if you shop hard enough.
I saw they use CT9 up to 2.5l , I still doubt it will go well with 1.3l.
I already bought GT1544 , as I saw they use it up to 2.3l too (I doubt it works well as the peak revs must be choked).
if my engine will stay under 100 bhp (which will without different cam) it will be very good setup. Except backpressure - but I have some ideas how to manage it.
I found that Garret says that GT1544 does only 13 PSI. That's very safe then. I will test it. I have electric industrial compressor at garage so I we can feed it and measure lb/min vs turbo revs vs pressure and temp etc. drops, backpressure, intercooler.
I found Microsquirt on ebay for 325 GBP , which I conside as very fair deal,
and as well I found these germans selling they own remake of MS with box
http://www.k-data.org/kdfi-v1-3-with-enclosure.html for like 400 EUR.
but they don't have experience with standard ford engines, they have tested maps and setup just for RS2000 Cosworth.
Which would be fun in Ka
to drive, but not so big fun to install.
Back to ground.
Do you have any tips for 2nd hand car parts sale? Some reliable server (ebay fails on MS, I found just new ones there). I'd hope to get MS for 250 or less...
I made brainstorming session with my old man last week and he suggested to put small intercooler (with rule shorter pipes: better system) only somewhere on top of engine block (on right side, over battery, but its good to move battery rack close to the engine and airbox with IC put almost to sidewall).
We will cut hole in bonnet to get air to IC and I have some idea to put wide aluminium air hose

Only question is filter. I saw pretty clear test about filter pressure drops and filter effectivity here
http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/airfilter/airtest3.htm and I am quite not sure if I want cotton or foam filter. They remove like half particles compared to paper/fibre... and the pressure difference is like 0.015 psi !!! only.

Sounds like all sports filters are bullshit (for low flow system like 1.3l)
