Default 1 kpro ecu running 2 diffrent tunes?

this will probably be stupid question to most of the people who read this but heres my scenario, i have a 92 eg that i am putting a tsx into within a couple months, and i just recently bought a ep3

what i want to do is get kpro for the ep3 ecu but will i be able to also use the ep3 ecu with kpro for my tsx swap in the 92 eg and just use the same ecu for both cars and run two diffrent tunes on one ecu?

Yes, simply upload a map each time you switch the ecu between cars.

ok i understand, but if i wanted to use a 6 speed tranny on the tsx i would have to use a type s ecu?

also if i need a type s ecu for the tsx if it has a 6 speed tranny, if i was to pick up a type s ecu and put k pro on it would i be able to use it in a ep3 with no problem, just to avoid putting kpro on my stock ep3 ecu so i dont void warranty

Correct, just use a PRB ecu from a 6 speed RSX Type-S.

You will be much better off just getting 2 ecus and 2 K-Pros. Constantly switching them back and forth will very quickly wear out the pins and connectors. Also having to constantly upload the calibration everytime you swap the ecu from car to car will lead to problems.
