PSI - pounds per square inch, a unit of pressure expressed in the pounds of force exerted on a square inch.

Foot Pounds is a unit of torque, the amount of force applied in a circular motion at one foot radius in pounds.

This is an apples-tomatoes question, both are red or green fruit, but that's about all they have in common.

The closest answer I can give you is if you want to exert one foot pound on a one foot radius apply one psi on a cylinder with a surface area of 1 inch connected to an arm at one foot and assume no friction.

This of course is not reality, since cylinders this size have a resistive force of about 14 psi, so you'd actually need to supply 15 psi in order to achieve one foot pound of force on your one foot arm.
