Not to discourage tinkerin' - but there is the problem that normal, bladed fans such as the ones used for PC cooling move air only if there's no obstruction - as in, they cannot provide any positive pressure. If you block the air flow with say a bit of paper (lay the lil fan face down) you'll note the blades "stall" (not stop, but no longer move air) and the fan won't "push" the paper or itself (no "hovering"). This is also true with "squirrel cage" fans, such as a hair dryer - this is a really easy test, simply put your hand over the outlet (reco "cool" setting ofc lol) and you'll see there's no pressurization at all
Superchargers are actually compressors and turbos use high-speed turbines, both of which provide positive pressure even with something blocking unfettered air flow... like the carb & combustion chamber.
Worth a shot jus' fer funz? Sure... but don't hold yer breath
