Standard Type R is approx 20 mph per 1000rpm in Fifth.
V-Limited is approx 22 mph per 1000rpm in fifth.
At 4000 rpm, the speeds are 80 and 88mph respectively
Top end is depended on whether your engine will take it![Wink](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)
You can upgrade a Standard Type R (or RA) gearbox to v-limited spec, but fiiting the 5th gear assembly from a UK box of the same year. Parts are about £100 new. Less if second hand from a broken UK box.
Budget for £250 all in, £150 all in if the box is already due off for a clutch replacement.
