I'm confused. You can not change parameters from one run to the other
when you use tpbconv. However, if you don't use tpbconv, but use grompp
you can do it, but have to take to modify your mdp file such taht:

buncstart = true
gen_vel = no

If you change the time step the kinetic energy will be discontinuous.
Don't know about other terms.
