JDL 4854mfs single scroll kit install/review

I'm doing the install my self and the lack of step by step instructions may have caused me to do some odd things but overall I'm extremely happy with how things are going and the quality of every nut and bolt in this kit. I opted for the titanium coating and their fan shroud to accommodate the spals.

The quality and design of the kit really allows for a beginner to install it. Everything comes in what i would call an exceptionally well packed boxes. Every part is wrapped with its corresponding screws, gasket and nuts.. nut a sack of nuts and another of gaskets leaving you to guess.. The shroud came assembled with the fans(which reminds me i have to tighten, just in case). The shroud has a rubber lip around the borders to seal with the radiator. It has mounting solution just as oem. The spa fans come with some connectors which don't plug and play so you have to splice.. not a biggie. I'll get to the pics.

Any questions you may have, ask away.. I had tons of questions and fortunately Ronnie and the rest of the crew @ JDL were there to help. Word of advise, just gather everything you think you may need and not need, clips, T's, washers... extra hoses..

Overall i'm extremely happy with the kit.. all the clamps, hoses, fittings and even down to the last bolt these things are all top notch, grade A. Oil drain line is fire sleeved as is the wastage line.. everything.


First day starting to disassemble the car



Plenty of clearance.. tiny but mighty the precision 4854..



How the radiator sits with its new shroud and coolant reservoir mounted.


















Believe it or not, nothing touches, rubs or scrapes not sure if just in-law's cutting skills or the craftmaship of these guys is just awesome..



Cutting the beam is fairly easy, just measure, mark and cut! too me longer to screw the oil drain line in.



BOV mouting location, i think this is JDL's current default setup.. My cars just dirty but nothing hits or rubs.



The tial mvs 38mm
