Even then, you didn't include the 2011 Civic Si which makes exactly the same HP/L as the FRS. Emissions have not changed that much in one year.
Does the K20 pass current emissions? I think this year is when they updated the standards isn't it? Toyota/Honda care about getting the SULEV whatever ratings rather than just barely passing, so that might be part of the reason they stopped using the K, but that's just a wild guess.

Okay just checked wikipedia, apparently LEV II started in 2010 so the K20 does pass emissions.

However the K20 is clearly less efficient as it needs 7400rpm to make 200hp rather than 7000.
