   Quick question what speed does the 'S box top out?
   
   As we all know the 1.1 box is 110-115ish...
   
   Cheers hombres

   Depends on the rev limit.
   
   The 1.1box could do 200mph with enough bhp and revs.

   So we could say that if the limiter was raised the box could easily take 145-150mph?
   
   Oh god, dont talk to me about 1.1 gearboxs, i blew the diff on mine 3 days after fitting it, the speed i was doing? I just hit 75mph getting onto a dual carriageway

   ive had over 140 out of a saxo with an s2 rallye box on it with a long way left on my revs (8500)... As said the RPM is the limiting factor here.

    I got 136 from my standard (apart from exhaust) 2002 vts it still had more to go but my balls didnt,

    with 195-45-15 (55.7cm diameter) tyres fitted & .085 5th gear & 3.94 FD.
    
    7k rpm = 136mph
    8k rpm = 156mph
    9k rpm = 175mph
    10k rpm = 195mph
    
    Will your VTS rev to 10k rpm in 5th?

    This will explain why i can only get 120mph at nearly 6k revs with a vtr box, its slower low down until it hits 4k then it takes off. Iv got a 16v but the limiter is set to 6250revs!! how can i get this removed? is it possible to have it completely removed so it would keep going?

    the limiter is there for a reason. If you want to wave goodbye to your engine just keep revving.....
