Back to reality, the only "good" solution I have found to this problem (and I have put very serious research into this) is to do the simple old cam trigger and crank trigger wheel/sensor faking. Feed the Subaru ECU just enough so it will a) crank the starter, and b) not throw a CEL code. The cam trigger is the key. You can clear away any other code, but you're not going anywhere without a cam signal unless you completely bypass every Subaru ECU function. Let's say you do that, no Subaru ECU outputs except CAN, no inputs except GM ECU's tach output (which has a different logic of trigger wheel shape)... you would have to find a way to get the cluster to come alive. Any way you cut it, short of hiring a software/hardware engineer, you may be best off just adding a crank trigger and cam trigger wheel in the Subaru format. If anyone has a plan that would work better, I would love to hear it.

you grossly know little about how the wirign harnesses are structured in subarus.
the wiring is cake. the starter will engage without the ecu with a simple wiring change.
