You'll have to figure out this URL or Google it:

Weight, gearing, throttle response, etc. play roles. But to compare the 2.0 liter from the Si and the 2.0 liter from the FR-S, as far as torque, here are a few sample RPMs:

3000: Si = 127, FR-S = 141 (11.0% advantage)
3800: Si = 121, FR-S = 122 (just about the same here -- FR-S's torque trough, Si still doesn't exceed FR-S)
4800: Si = 116, FR-S = 142 (22.4% advantage)
6200: Si = 134, FR-S = 140 (4.5% advantage -- Si's torque peak, Si still doesn't exceed FR-S)

Si does maintain torque for further up the rev range. It catches up around 7100 and hangs on longer, thus it has a higher top end rear-wheel horsepower number (180 for Si, 174 for FR-S, source for both is Automobile magazine).
I have the base which has a better torque curve.
