Having had both in my cars I prefer the carbs for the weekend run and efi for daily driving, (and winter starts).
That being said you can install these engines in youself very easily as the 18R-G(EU) bolts straight in onto the standard mounts and the engine swap can be comfortably done in a weekend for a novice if you have the tools to do it.
The 18R-G is not going to give you the throw you back in your seat sort of power, but if you are keen to "do it yourself" the results are excellent compared to the wheezy 18r-c. and is a much cheaper option to get you started on the road to modifiying Celicas.
I stood over the engine bay of my celica for about 3 weeks before I got enough courage up to pull it out but once started the other engine was in the same day and partially wired up.
The best advice I can give for the novice is to start simple and small and build up from there. I started this way and am now looking at selling the 18R-GEU Celica Setup for a 1G-GTE now I feel I can achieve that conversion.
