That has to be the easiest tubo install I have ever seen. charge pipe right to the manifold. Simple and It will blow up with no intercooler. Brilliant. (SP)

I think the 1.3l is a 4cyl. The 1.0 liter is a 3cyl.

A buddy of mine is turboing his 1.3l samuri / sidekick. (I don't know which chassis the motor came from). We got his crx running just fine with a gaytona 2.2l turbocharger. As someone else said you can turbo just about anything. The trick is making enough extra power that anyone even notices. I say stuff in a bigger motor.

my friend has a geo 3 banger converitble in bright yellow (chick magnet). he was thinking about turboing it and i looked at it for him. its very possible, there is so much room under the hood to mess with, it would be kind fun to turbo i think. they're pretty light.
