As long as it is off a similar sized petrol engine it should work OK if you can make manifolds etc.

Are you talking CB60 or CB70/80 engines? Three cylinder 993cc turbo.
I've had a CB70 before (EFI twin cam turbo) and they're a potent engine with lots of potential. Mine was making 75kW @ wheels in a Charade. The CB60 is only a carby single cam engine- don't waste your time.

If the turbo came off a one litre DAIHATSU, I can't see why it would need any internal mods to work on a Suzi one litre.
The only potential drama is the 3 cylinder probably has more airspeed so you might not get boost at the same (low) revs in a zook.

Use the Daihatsu(suck through) carby or make a blow through box and seal the zook carb in it, so boost pressure is same inside carb as it is outside.
Like this but with a lid on it obviously.

not hard at all IF you can cut and weld. Research is your friend.
Search 'blow through turbo' or 'blow through carb' on GOOGLE "Images" and go from there.

crank the boost up and use 2 diahatsu carbys, this eliminates the need for a more complicated setup and should have enough fuel to keep the motor alive just dont run it lean or advance the timing a stupid amount
