are u talking about the rev limiter? if u rev the engine above a certain point 6000rpm on the 1.28v, the engine will stop accelerating and actually slow down. | |

if your in a 1.2 8v your 4th gear is faster than your 5th gear same as most old nova's that had small engines | |

It may be that your timing is out a little. mine was. 1 of the cogs was 1 mark out for some reason. and when i revved over 3000rpm-ish, the engine had a nasty rattling sound. after 4500rpm it started losing power. | |
