Arrow Racing GTR .21 Engine Thread

I'm looking to get some hard core factual run times from people that have this engine. If you engine has no mecahnical pinch can you please share the following information:
Average lap times at the track you run (this will determine track size)
Pipe you are using
Track surface
Clutch used and set-up
Fuel you use
Plug you use
Minutes until dry tank
Thank you to all who share.

i run a losi re11 on mine and it has a crazy amount of top end and still has a very strong bottom end. my engine is fully broken in and it likes to be ran about 240 degrees. fuel times are about 8min. track times are about 30 seconds a lap. track surface is pretty loose and dusty. i run byrons 30/11, bullit p3 plug, and the stock clutch setup with .9mm springs.

i'll do sum more accurate testing. i only timed it once this year and it was still on the rich setting. i know i can squeeze out another minute or two easy. im suppose to race today so i'll check

Magpie brought up a very valid point that lap times is a poor way to determine layout size and fuel economy. It's just that I am seeing so many extream variations on run times, I'm trying to get a solid handle on it. There may be just too many variables to get an overall consencous on fuel economy.

ok here is a pic of the track i race on i'm doing about 41-43 second laps and the fast guys are doing about 36-38 second laps it's a very flowing track with a lot of wide open throttle and as you can see a big straight through the centre and i'm getting about 12-13 mins run time and thats with a hong nor 2080 pipe and this motor isn't a slouch either it also still has the extra shim in and running 1.0mm clutch springs with composite shoes...

Reedy 2035. I am running a OS Promod (Speed crank) with the GTR psr. The pipe gives it a awsome bottom and pulls all the way to a screaming top.I ran this pipe on a stock Vspec aswell and it was similar very strong bottom with a good top.

Bullit Engines is made by OS Engines in Japan at their Nara plant.

VZ-B V-spec engine. Compare to OS 21VZ-B Speed & Ninja JX21 B01A" so this engine runs like the high dollar O.S. Speed 21 VZ-B V-SPEC back in the day?
VZ = Short stroke
Arrow is based on the short stroke VZ. The engine is a clone of the VZ-B V-Spec. It doesn't share anything with the VZ-B Speed, except for the fact it was designed with that style bottom end lubrication (the oiling hole was moved from the crank pin onto the rod to increase lifespan).
Bullit engines are based on the long stroke XZ engines. The 216 is essentially a XZ-B V-Spec while the 218 is essentially a XZ-B Speed.

The only thing that fits on a XZ-B is con rod, wrist pin clips, front and rear bearings, carb retainer, backplate screws, and the entire carb (just switch whole thing, I wouldn't mess with mixing Arrow carb parts with OS ones). That's it.
Crankcase, backplate, crank, piston, sleeve, head button, head gaskets, cooling head, and head bolts are all different.
