Also the water pump, crank (oil pump drive), and oil pump were changed in 86 on all CVH engines to a different type. Late S2 blocks also were of the EFI type with readily machined locations for a crank position sensor and and a knock sensor.
Actually there are quite a few differences, but none of them make one or the other better in any way. The differences in the head and valve-gear are also very marginal.

yup thats right no difference in term of performance really. the S2 as an extension pipe for the turbo oil return in side the sump which doesnt seem to be there on S1.
oh and the water cooled turbo although its no difference to the actual engine
