S2 certainly used higher fifth gear than both, as S2 maxes out sooner than 20v and all of these engines maxes out at around 6k; it doesn't matter where rev limiter is if the engine doesn't breathe at that point.
I recently had a chance to take for a quick spin A80q with a 1.8 mono in it, found that speed/rev ratio is still the same 20 mph/1k, since it has short ratio diffs, apparently that is being compensated by taller fifth gear.

So the box in my KK wouldnt be exactly the same as my mates 1.8Q??
I wondered if someone had killed the original gearbox, gone to scrappies and got given abox for a 1.8Q
