Evo 10 hubs on an Evo 8/9

Have you tested each sensor to see what their output looks like on an oscilloscope? That's the only way you'll know short of testing them on the car. I would think it will need to be an identical signal.

I do not have an oscilloscope. I did however test resistances and the Evo 8/9 does have resistances and Evo 10 does not. This is why I feel it would not work. If I were to test this on the car, I would need to press out the hub from the wheel bearing and swap it into the 10 hub. I don't want to risk damaging a perfectly good wheel bearing.

It wont work, the CT9a sensor does have specified resistance range for the sensor in the FSM. I don't recall what it is off the top of my head, but it's in there.

I'm not sure if anyone is still interested in doing this swap, but I'm continuing to make progress on this. I'm retrofitting the 8/9 abs sensor to the X knuckles. The only way this seems to be practically achieved is like this:
I realize I cut into some structural metal, but I plan on putting in a piece of steel that will slot in on top of abs sensor's tab to spread load. I got these for cheap so if it doesn't work out it won't be a big loss to me. I highly doubt they will actually fail catastrophically before I start noticing cracks.

Oh man, that is way sketchy as-is. If you are going to do something like this, rotate the sensor 180deg to face the other way. Cutting out that loop of material is also risky. I appreciate the bold approach but be weary of just cutting out structural material. You're losing more than just ultimate strength.

That was my initial plan. But the wire that runs out the back interferes with the same part of the knuckle. I looked at mounting it in other locations but that only looked even more sketchy. I'm counting more on the cast iron being overbuilt from OEM to be ok with this. I also think the insert I'm planning on making will do quite a bit in restoring strength. But other than deleting ABS, or retrofitting the evo X abs system somehow, this is the only way I can think of doing it.

the question of "Why" still stands..

The point is to take advantage of the 20mm of roll center correction, keep abs/acd functionality, and not spend mega dollars on a custom billet cnc piece for which you'll just have to trust the person that made it knows what they are doing with FEA analysis and limited real world testing compared to OEM.
