i've downloaded transmac and poweriso, tried with both an none of them made a booteable version.

You shouldn't have to do that. You can do a clean install by booting into the recovery partition on the Mac by booting while holding down the R key. Is your Mac backed up?

no, i don't have a backup, the SSD is new, and i dont undestand why if i choose to do a recovery with internet it downloads an old osx and not the latest

Internet Recovery will offer you the OS X version that your Mac came with originally.
And, after installing that, you can then update to the version that you want, through the App Store
Might not be the one-step install from scratch that you were hoping for, but it will work.

Then, give Windows another try. Maybe you are just missing something simple. Here's another method:
