Ideally you want it as low as possible without it becoming exposed to damage. Its been a while since Ive had mine but I think theres a space on the passengers side chassis rail somewhere.

I just used the factory feed line for feed and the tank breather for a return temporarily. If you can find an AE92 EFI sedan/hatch at pick a part or the likes then get the lines off that as the setup I used was probably a bit small (6mm feed and 4mm return)

Have you modified the mount and sorted a gearbox for it yet?

Theres alot more involved than just swapping the engine over.

The engine mount on the drivers side inner guard doesnt line up, it needs to be mved foward about 70mm ish. The AE82 box has bolt on inner CV's where the EE90 has normal circlip type so you will need driveshafts to suit the gearbox aswell.

I never got mine on the road but had it running and semi driveable using the EE90 box, the bottom two bellhousing bolts dont match the 4A block though and the clutch is too long.

And then theres little things like the throttle cable is too long etc.

If had was to convert another EE90 to anything I would use a 4EFTE.
The mounts are the same, stock gearbox will bolt up (but wont last too long) and its will be easier to get more power out of being turbo.

So unless you are prepared for a lot of work, I would use the 4E.
