Abstract

There is provided a method for manufacturing a turbocharger bearing housing which can prevent a collapsible core from being damaged when molten metal is cast in the mold. The method for manufacturing a bearing housing of a turbocharger is that the bearing housing of the turbocharger is formed with a cooling passage for circulating cooling liquid by casting using a collapsible core. The collapsible core includes the end part forming portions (a one end forming portion and an other end forming portion) corresponding to the end portions of the cooling passage and having a substantially elliptical cross-section, and a fixing portion holding the end part forming portions and being embedded in a mold and fixed to the mold.
