If the angle of bank is the same, the speed is the same, and the aircraft isn't sideslipping, the G force will be the same too.
For a fairly simple discussion of the issue, see here:

Some aircraft can withstand higher G forces than others (greater structural strength), and some aircraft can sustain higher rates of turn than others (more power), but this doesn't alter the relationship between bank angle, speed, and rate of turn.
