No. There are actually many spots on engines where people like to stick thermocouples. Oil temperature and cylinder head temperature are the most common in modern lightplanes. I'm modelling exhaust gas temerature because that has the really pleasant property of being derivable from first principles based on the work done by the expanding gas. Everything else is going to depend in really sensitive ways on the specifics of the engine installation. There isn't any sane way to do this short of storing giant tables for every engine. If you have such tables, my suggestion would be to implement them in Nasal and tie them to the HP output of the engine, outside temperature, airspeed, etc...
