I employ an ensemble of hydrodynamical simulations and the XSPEC MEKAL emission model to reproduce observable spectral and flux-weighted temperatures for 24 clusters. Each cluster is imaged at 16 points in its history, which allows the investigation of evolutionary effects on the mass-temperature relation. In the zero redshift scaling relations, I find no evidence for a relationship between cluster temperature and formation epoch for those clusters which acquired 75% of their final mass since a redshift of 0.6. This result holds for both observable and intrinsic intracluster medium temperatures, and implies that halo formation epochs are not an important variable in analysis of observable cluster temperature functions.
