Subaru legacy post 1995 ECU

[avos at cochlear.com.au]

     I did a search on the diy_efi archive on subaru, and form memory there 
     was information from a guy who installed a subaru engine in a kombi, 
     and had and resolved this problem. You might want to check this 
     out.....

I have a friend who is trying to install a 1995 Subaru Legacy 
engine, with factory ECU intact, into a gyrocopter.
     
He has reached the point that he can run it on the bench, and 
finds that after 3 minutes or so it goes into what sounds like 
limp home mode. Not over 4200 RPM. He thinks this is related to 
the OBD2 stuff. The ECU can't talk to the transmission, 4WD 
system, ABS system, or whatever, and eventually decides there is 
a TERRIBLE problem.
     
Anybody know how to tell this thing to "shut up and soldier"?
