they're fairly close...
In 1998 Honda produced a rare VTEC version of the H23 engine for use in Japan only. It is essentially an H23 block with an H22 head. The power is on par with a typical H22 engine but with a lower redline.
Specifications
* Bore × Stroke: {{
* 1998-2002 Accord Wagon AWD (CL2). It produces 200 PS (147 kW; 197 hp) & 163 ft·lbf (221 N·m) and comes with a "blue top".

they say the h23 vtecs werent make to go over like 6800 or something like that... they make good power like the h22 but i wouldnt want to rev a h23 hard and the r/s ratio is horrible on a h23... but its not like the h22 is a whole lot better in that aspect

not saying it cant be rev'd that high... im just saying the factory specs on that motor have the redline listed at 6800... and the non vtec motors have redline at 6500... but the power band of the engine is more determind by the cams... a friend had a h2b and wiped out main bearings in the h22 and then got ahold of a blue top h23... he ran his h22 cams in his h23 and revd it to the h22 redline... but if you look up rod to stroke ratios... the h23 has a horrible ratio... but all h series have poor rod to stroke ratios but still turn good rpms and and run good....
