I put an 18R-GU in my RA23 a few years ago and later converted it to EFI. The fuel side of things is pretty straightforward - I got an external EFI pump from a JE Camira at the wreckers (same as a VL pump) and mounted it in the boot on the driver side in that little hole where you keep tools and stuff. From there it just pumps straight into the factory fuel lines via an EFI fuel filter. Of course it's not a bad idea to run a surge tank, but I haven't got around to that yet.
Definitely don't mount your pump in the engine bay, this isn't especially safe and probably wouldn't work anyway as EFI pumps don't like to "suck" fuel from a long distance away. In fact it's important to mount the fuel pump such that the inlet is lower than the tank so that the fuel can gravity feed into the pump - that's why I mounted my pump in that hole in the side of the boot.
Don't worry about the fuel lines, they're big enough for way more power than a stock 18R-G can provide.
