Default ecu chipping vtec conversion and switching roms

i have few questions that i could not find answers to from reading pgmfi and moates.

1 when doing a vtec conversion on p75 for example.
the ecu is programed for LS motor. once you add vtec parts the maps are still for LS motor.
would it even work properly on a vtec motor(gsr or ITR for example)


2 when adding vtec are the parts supplied from moates/xenocron can be ran without custom rom present?
in other words is P06/p75 ecu really identical to p28 ecu as most people selling them claim?


3 when using 2times( its the add on to the socket that allows you to switch between 2 roms(maps) loaded on a same SST chip
can the maps be switched on the fly( without turning the engine off) or do i have to turn it off then switch and then start the engine again?


4 does neptune board still require the SST chip to be plugged in?

1. Once you add vtec to your non vtec ecu, you also need to chip it so that you can put a vtec basemap on it. Once that is done it will work fine with any vtec motor.

2.after chipping and converting a p06 or p75 ecu. They now work just like a chipped p28.

3. I don't understand your question.

4. Neptune does not use the SST chip anymore, only a Neptune dealer has the ability to burn chips.

The 2 timer allows you to switch between 2 roms loaded on same chip. But im not sure if it can be switched on the fly(during idle) or i have to shut the engine off and then switch
