Hello, Im looking for help to the following problem:
Im sending timing signals with directed narrow angle IR leds. When IR LED switches on I should detect signal with +5V or +3.3V GPIO pin. Most important is to get constant time, lets say?10ns, between IR present and detection. It wouldnt hurt to get long range (3-4m) too.

I dónt think hemon its a good ECG. I did it with a photodiode instead of the orp that appears in the circuit and it does´nt work, it have too noise and you do not detect the pulse you detect small movements of your finger. I think this one work better.

Flatulent's comments are quite correct. I would add, you can use transistors to source and sink current within your circuit but the beauty of relays is that they provide isolated contact closure--no references to anything else in your circuit. Two transistors will never exactly behave like a relay.
The primary drawback to the relay is tho

They aren't the right chips for the job and the LM567 is obsolete anyway.
You just need a light source and photodiode or phototransistor. If there is significant ambient light you will need to modulate the light source at a few kHz and have a filter on the receiver. Another approach is a laser pointer and phototransistor.

With 100 ohm load resistor as used by the OP, you are in the same order of magnitude. 100 ohm is actualy reasonable with a phototransistor to achieve the intended bandwidth. But a cascode circuit can achieve low phototransistor load impedance and higher output voltage.

Firstly to your 2 circuits:

2. In this case the Ub voltage, to turn this transistor on, will be Uled+0.7V and that will exeed your 3V battery supply. It is possible that i

A phototransistor with unconnected base (as in SFH9201) has limited options to recover rapidly from overload. As you already found out, the saturation also occurs without an external voltage during the light pulse.
The only option is to switch a low pullup-resistance temporarily, but it may be still insufficient to achieve an acceptable recover
