I know this is old post but anyway to convert you'll need:

-manual tranny+obd3 compatible sensors+clutch plate+flywheel
-clutch pedal set+master/slave cylinder+hydro line+reservior+misc mounts
-shifter+links (may or may not need to cut hole for the shifter links)
-OBD3 manual ECU for iDSI

I wouldn't know the cost of the parts but for EK3 conversion the parts alone probably would cost around rm1500. with labour could go up to 2k maybe.

second thing is, the car is relatively new. trying to source for the parts is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Search the forum. There are some examples with CVT slapped with BOT.

Another Japanese tuner called Last Station also slapped a BOT on a City and seems to working fine even with the CVT power handling limitation.

in one thread one guy is searching for jazz manual GB. jazz is using the same engine as city rite... so i believe no prob. can be done but can you find the parts... that's another question la.

yeah its the same platform basically on different cosmetic look

The Jazz in Japan is called Fit and the City called Fit Aria.

BOT can be done. Got a thread somewhere started by Lilvee that they do BOT for your setup to be around 6.8k including tuning but no guarantee for the CVT tho. They have some customers with city/fit turbo and seems to be doing fine according to them.

Their kit is all bolt on types and no changing of original components like injectors and so on. The only thing done for the ECU is to have a piggyback system to fine tune the ECU to suit turbo that's all.

Or you can go to hondaswap.com or any honda related sites they'll have loads of info on turboing hondas.
