Illegal substitution can be a live ball or a dead ball foul, but does not involve particpation. Illegal participation always involves participation and is always a live ball foul. The prime example is 12 players on the field. If the play is killed before the snap, it is illegal substitution. If the snap takes place and all 12 players participate, it is illegal participation.
