I'm sure my 2.5 V6 has two fans (infront of the rad) and one the the rear left had side, so three in all.

mine has a single front one

What year/model is yours?  Mine is 97 2.5 V6 CD I would have thought all V6's would have been the same or my be it's different for earlier models.

Just out of interest have you raised this because yours has a cooling issue or just that they run hot?  I say that as mine and others I've seen run at between 90* and 95* on the temp gauge and that is hotter than most other cars I've owned others running at a little over 80*.

im just wanting to reduce the engine temp at normal running really for using a garret turbo

btw mines a '94

this is what i had in mind (the bonnet inlets)

this shows the vents better

I see, well if mine runs at over 90* with 3 fans and your runs the same with 2 does it?  Fitting an extra one should reduce the running temp but by how much can't say.

You could as I think you and other have suggested fit bonnet louvers I had these on my old Cosworth and they really work, mate at the time replaced his bonnet (due to damage) with a standard one while awaiting repair the heat shot up so they do work.  

They worked more by sucking the heat out rather than forcing air in the good old vacuum effect, they are other ways but with the Omega we are very limited with under bonnet space.  

How about increasing the size of the oil cooler?

well im adding an external one instead
