Seriously, what kind of car is it in? What is it bolted to? How much is it modded? 200+ MPH is not out of the question for a seriously modded car with a 20B.
If you are talking about a stock 20B Cosmo, I think that it tops out at about 160 MPH.

Asking what the top speed of an engine is usually gets laughter. They normally need to be installed in a car to go anywhere.
Assuming you are reffering to it installed in its original home, the JC Cosmo. Mazda quote the top speed of the (20B optioned) JC Cosmo at 255kph.
All Japanese domestic cars have a 180kph speed cut, so that requires disconnection if you want your Cosmo out on the limit.
Fastest I have ever gone in a JC Cosmo is around 240kph with the speed cut disconnected. Was still rising on the tacho (6000rpm in 4th) but was starting to run out of road & they don't have the same braking power as the FD RX-7.

Top speed is only limited by:
engine power
gearing
aerodynamics
Just by gearing, stock top speeds for vehicles are:
Zenki FC3S turbo - 160mph, 7kRPM redline
Kouki FC3S/FD3S turbo - 190mph, 7kRPM redline
-Ted
engine power
gearing

engine rpm
wind vector
ambient air density (temperature, pressure, & humidity)
vehicle weight (mass and gravitational pull)
road grade and coefficient of friction
tire ground pressure, surface area, and coefficient of friction
tire diameter of the drive wheel (this is a sub-set of gearing, which was already mentioned)
That's all I can think of right now.

One of the easy mods for a 20B is to go to 13B-rew housings.
When I talked with the chief mechanic for the Kudzu racing team, he said that they ran peripheral ported 20Bs at 9000 rpm all day long. (550 hp)

I would have taken it the other way had he asked "What is the max RPM of a 20B"
To get Lemonade, I have to ask for Sprite. If I ask for Lemonade, I get lemon flavoured cordial...........

Hehehe, one of my colleagues asked for a "soda" in Tel Aviv, and got a cup full of soda water instead of the expected flavored soft drink.

Either way, the stock turbos are going to "run out of breath". In the Cosmo, I believe they only ran to 5.5 psi. I run mine to a peak of 1 bar (14.7 psi), but that naturally declines as the engine speed increases.

In factory form, the boost ran to 9psi, sometimes 10psi on a cold night. Boost cut is at 14psi.
The lowest boost setting on a turbo Mazda rotary was the 12A turbo from the HB Cosmo. This was at 6psi. The 13B turbo from the FC RX-7 ran at 6.2psi

I'm using the stock 20b rotor housings but with 13b-rew exhaust sleaves.

i thought change the housing were easier.

My understanding from Cam is that using the 13b housings is required if you are looking for more hp. The way I looked at it was I had an extra 13b hanging around when I did the swap!!!
I will be trying for over 200 in Vegas Sept 21st when we have our next race.

20B N/A Wide Body FC3S
the 20B housing is Identical except for the slightly larger torsen bolt holes in I beleve 2 positons, and the port sleve itself.. O' and the fact that it says 20B up on top.. Here in Japan they inspect the engine # during our anual 2 year saftey inspection, so I will definitly be using the 13B housings.. I will also be paying sombody off as well...
