I'm not too knowledgeable on pugs but from previous experience of engine conversions in clios I'd be thinking along the lines of the wiring loom being at fault.
Have you got fuel or spark?

On the clio 16v's I know that the wiring loom used in the engine conversion needs to be from the same year as the car it's going into for it to work, the main problem being if the incorrect loom is used the fuel pump wont work

Take the ignition feed off the starter motor ,see if its permanently live. If so you could see if it starts with a temporary feed directly from the battery so you can turn the ignition on without the engine turning over.
