Can the owner of an experimental airplane perform the IFR installation and logbook entries of the IFD440?

It depends. If the owner is unsure, the answer is probably no. I would advise the owner to contact the local FSDO to be sure he has all of the proper certifications before starting.

Not following you. Can anyone follow the instructions in your installation manual and still properly check/test/and record all logbook entries in the logbook of an experimental airplane without holding an A&P or IA certificates?

The repairman certificate you can get when you build the majority of an experimental aircraft has limitations. I believe it is limited to the annual condition inspection...

5. PRIVILEGES AND LIMITATIONS. Holders of repairman certificates (experimental
aircraft builder) may perform “condition inspections” on specific aircraft built by the certificate
holder. Consistent with § 65.104(b), the aircraft will be identified by make, model, and serial
number as shown on the repairman certificate. During the aircraft certification procedure the
FAA issues operating limitations, as necessary per § 91.319, to ensure an adequate level of
safety. These limitations may require that the subject aircraft be inspected annually by a
repairman (experimental aircraft builder), the holder of an FAA mechanic certificate with
appropriate ratings (airframe and powerplant), or an appropriately rated FAA repair station.
Condition inspections will be performed in accordance with the scope and detail of part 43,
appendix D. Operating limitations will also require that an appropriate entry be made in the
aircraft maintenance records to show performance of this inspection.
NOTE: It should be noted that the privileges and limitations
